It seems to me that also ubi has something to say here. As Ubi usually say nothing about mods, maby if we start to make so powerfull mods, they can see it like a problem as we could be competence for future proyects they could release based in SH5. maby we should also aks Ubi about that before purchase any granny license.

Seeing as Ubisoft hasn't said anything at all since the game came out, and by all observations has entirely abandoned the Silent Hunter series (I'm still waiting for anyone from Ubisoft to refute that...) we could probably finish the game and they wouldn't even notice.

Even in that case. For example Ms closed the FS series but not let developers continue it in their own as they ask. A company can discontinue a game series but not to renunce to possible profits from the franchise. I hope you are right, but I don´t see Ubi let us make a really good game from SH5 and maby covering all possible expansions they could do in the future, even it they dont plan to do it and don't say nothing. Again hope you are right XD

After years,
Ubi released a fix for StarForce.
It was the Reloaded crack!
Then they actually released non-StarForce DVD's!
Those DVD's and the files, pre-date StarForce stuff!

To actually give Ubi any credit for being honest?
That's probably the biggest joke we have all lived with for what?
Better then 5 years?
They laughed all the way to the bank my friend!
And they used all of us in the meantime!

They also used the Devs just as they used us!
We are all just mere players.

I lost my devotion to Ubi with SH5.
Not my devotion to the Devs, mind you.
I still believe they intended much more.
But I still reserve the right to question them.

A perfect World would see me hitting the Lottery,
Hireing the Romanian Devs and many Modders,
and createing the Utimate SubSim!

In the meantime?
I don't give up but look for answers!
Whatever that takes?
I still look!

This community is so active it don't needs the game , if it only could have a game engine under GNU licence to upload it with data would be no complains anymore, never. Sadly few people is abble to work in an engine and it's a hard task. I only know it from a flight simulator (FlightGear) community. So by now Ubi soft is the best we can get.

So we wait and see what Granny has to say.
Come on Grannnnyy.

We wait and see what RAD has to say after they contact Ubi I'd think.
I've looked at many Games useing Granny.
Most have a custom build process that will not allow
a Stock build of Granny to work in those Games.
I see nothing of the sort in SH5.
It's a wide open, bone stock from RAD, implementation,
as far as what I can see.
That could cause problems.

Ubi has been asked in several ways.
We get no real answer.
If we could own and use Granny to do mods for SH5?
I doubt Ubi would care!
They would not be paying $12,500 or so,
and it would only drive sales!

Ubi wins by just staying silent.
Which is right up thier alley.

We, as ardent Silent Hunter supporters and legal owners,
have been raped in a way that should paint a scarlet letter on foreheads!

We are looking for a legal and honorable way to continue what we do.
Should Ubi say no at this point?
They stand to loose WAY more money.

And money is what drives them!
Users can make or destroy a Company.

And right now?
The feeling in America is not to good for foriegn companies!
BP is the prime example.
I use to stop at one everyday for coffee and gas.
I no longer go there.
I go out of my way now.
I also stopped further orders of any Ubi Games.
And I know many just local people that have done the same.
