HI all, just ordered SH5

Why aren't ubisoft fixing these bugs btw. They had the time to make a gold edition, but not the time to fix a few simple bugs.

They hate us all

OK, I'll be naive and ask a pretty funny question regarding this game right now... So here it goes - is UBI going to release a patch (or two) for this game or did they stop supporting it?

At least we now understand how ubisoft operates with games. This makes it even more important to be QUICK about reporting bugs when and if they release a new uboat sim. We should also try to avvoid redundant reports. Do it quickly, while the game is still alive and somewhat organize the reports.

That would've probably fell on deaf ears. They washed their hands of this game since day 1 Now it's up to us to fix the remaining problems

Thank god for people like you TDW.
Otherwise we'd all be up the proverbial sewer creek without a paddle

Box sales numbers determine how many staff are kept on the project. Being a minimal in popularity game, they are going to move on after release pretty quick no matter if you post a detailed bug list on release day. They have a date already on the calender of when they shut down the project and move to the next and the only thing that can change that date is unexpected high box sales - not the number of remaining bugs.

What they did make in box sales paid for the year(s) of development up to release with just enough cheese left over to justify a green light for another game in the coming years. They don't want to spend that cheese on fine tuning a game that is already stagnant in sales and the only people it pleases are the ones who already bought it.

TLDR: There's no profit in it.

Unfortunately they create the proverbial viscious circle when they do that, at least when the reason sales are poor in the first place is that those who buy it are quick to tell everyone else how buggy the game is. They don't seem to understand that.

Great news indeed! Oh well, I guess that won't be the first time I threw me money out of the window. Also I played vanilla SH5 abit and mildly speaking was underwhelmed so far.
