Ubi should pay Mods

DavyJonesFootlocker · 08-02-10, 09:42 PM

If it wasn't for the modders SH5 would've sunk to the bottom. Ubi should pay you guys. SH5 with all its flaws is still a playable sim.

Thanks from the bottom of my cold, dark heart.

Totally Agreed. But it might be easier to paddle to the moon and back than get money out of these guys. But a collaboration of sorts between SUBSIM and UBISOFT sounds interesting though.

Anybody know how/why SH5 got release in its current state.

What are the devs saying in response to all the flaws in design and execution. Are the same devs involved in other projects, so as to avoid like the plague. Whose pictures do I tack on my dart board.

You can just keep Kotick on there. At least Ubi didn't charge €60,- for it.

I very explicitly remember Dan saying he wanted to buy me a beer. Hopefully someday, i'll be able to collect.

Speaking of beer..... Gotta finish this one. :P

SH5 should do what A2A did with Battle of Britain II; give a team of modders the rights and tools to continue patching the game officially.

You think Ubi$oft would do that? Yeah right! as if!

He pulled that one on me at GW Bush Int Airport

Odds are I'll never get to collect. I don't have the money to be spending on airfare to meet people.

Have to say though, it sure would be nice to have the SH4 source code.

But sadly, Ubisoft Lufthansa had not modelled a compass into Dan's plane and it took him 11 days to get home.

You would think...but that makes too much sense, and UBI has an issue with arrogance it seems. To arrogant to admit that if they gave the right tools and source code to our mod community...they would probably make a SH game that would put SH5 to shame, for $0, and in less than 1 yr.

You would also think UBI would have learned with SH3 to get the modders here involved with the DEVs from DAY 1...... nah that makes too much sense also.
