I suppose this all comes down to one simple fact, hard cash. The capital investment must be recouped very quickly on product launch for the investor to enter into profit. I suspect the SH5 returns for Ubi were not very dynamic.

I sometimes wonder how the effect of pirated copies affects the capital outlay. For example, you buy a pack of potatos from the store and they are the cheapest in town, but how many bad spuds in the bag would it take before the cheapest become over priced.

http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProduct...;42&sku=292543 I found this SH5 at HMV today, talk about cheap, supply and demand at work I recon.

As a fan of the Silent Hunter series, yes all of em, I cannot help but feel that SH5 as good or bad as it is, from what ever side of the fence your on, lacks in some way. I recently bought a copy of "darkest of days" a fps based around the battle at Antietam during the American civil war, also the battle of Tannenburg in WW1, boy how gaming has moved on. Ubi will have to find a whole new experience in submarine warfare to be the money spinner it has the potential to be. Maybe new blood to head up the managment team to re-think this great sim to a new level of playability.
