Where is that SDK???

From the posts I've read over the last few months and what has been said in this thread, UBISOFT still consider this product's life cycle as 'not yet over' therefore it is still generating revenue for them (CASH COW) and their marketing Company.

We are simply the lower levels of the 'gaming pecking order' and while it was deemed ok for them to solicit our great ideas and comments in the beginning (obtained from various forums) as a replacement for SH2 (which - correct me if I'm wrong - UBISOFT didnt even write!) they promptly created a game (albeit a good game!) that they knew had a captive audience and then went ahead and secured all the modifiable features by STARFORCE so that they would have total marketing control!

As far as an SDK is concerned - forget it -the tight-asses that control UBISOFT will never PERMIT the users to modify or improve their basic game - IT IS LOCKED TIGHT - <EDIT>

The best approach (subsimmers) for the future is NOT TO BUY SH4, and NOT TO VOLUNTEER OR SUBMIT IDEAS IN FORUMS solicited by UBISOFT (for example 'What would you like to see in SH4') come on! - are you that stupid that you want to help them exploit us further?

Ask them outright do they plan to offera SDK to the community! - if they edge around the subject post a warning in the forum along these lines

"UBISOFT PLAN TO LOCK NEW GAMES AND RESTRICT COMMUNITY MOD IMPROVEMENTS BY NOT OFFERING AN SDK" that should get their attention....!

UBISOFT have raped and pillaged the SUBSIM community for ideas and feedback and now (have you noticed?) have gone VERY QUIET!

Microsoft an the other hand openly offer a SDK to their FS series - so what's the big deal UBISOFT?????

Will I buy another UBISOFT product - NO!
Will I buy another SF Protected Product - NO!
