Why I've decided not to buy, or own, SH5 (and I hope Ubi reads this)

If that is the case then he's quoting BR out of context to get his point across.

Here's the whole quote

most real subsimmers are playing a subsim, SH5 or something else, they dont spend all their time worrying about what games other adults play in their free time.

See what I mean?

I usually don't get involved trying to point out who is right or wrong. But, we have one guy saying most of us are too busy playing to really give a rat's behind about SH5's troubles, which is true. Another guy is showing the vast graphical superiority of the new SH5 as opposed to the older, time-tested and proven SH3. It's true, the graphics in SH5 are much, much better. Might even be true that some of the anti-SH5 crowd are devout SH3 fans, but this I do not know for certain.

If that made any sense then my hangover must be wearing off.

Simply because Subsim.com is way too friendly to UBI no matter what crap they're making, Subsim sour cream will stay solidary quiet and better not talk about bad things themselves, moreover every thread that comes with titles of any form against UBI, SH5 or DRM are actively monitored by moderators, for simple reason to look for "overedged" comments and then as an excuse to use it for locking it up..

While I can agree with some of that to some extent, I also have to agree with the work that is being done by the moderators to preserve the peace at Subsim. For a better idea of the "peace" I'm talking about, hang out in General Topics for awhile and see how it comes together. Then have a look at the locked threads, here at Subsim and also at numerous other fan/game sites - with particular attention paid to newer releases. From my perspective, and having been on two sides of the debate now for ten-plus years, the lockdowns are just part of the routine. So is all the bitching, the long-winded speeches, so on and so forth. With that said, I keep a good sense of humor about it because it goes with the territory. All new games come with bugs, and there are always, and will always be, reasons not to buy or whatever the case may be.

And, if any of that made sense...
