Whilst this seems expensive to the PC Gamers of today, it should be noted that in the UK at least the original Silent Hunter actually cost £50 (more than 50 Euros)at release and that was in 1996 16 years ago! Which probably goes some way to explaining why virtually no-one is making simulation games anymore.

A bit off topic.... so please forgive me.

B-17 Flying Fortress "The Mighty 8th" by MicroProse was $45.99 USD back in 1999. I believe it was one of the most expensive WWII PC simulations at that time. It was also the very first simulation I bought for my very first computer that ran Windows ME.

A real shame that. Sometimes I feel like the last member of a dying breed, then I come to subsim and I'm reminded I'm in good company. Just not enough of us I guess.

Hi guys , I'm kinda new to all of this, last SH game I played was Silent Hunter II, which is kind of a long time ago. I really want to buy SH5, and I've read that Steam is not the way to go.

How about buying it through Uplay? Does anyone have any knowledge of that?
Buying a boxed copy will not be easy for me.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I thought it suited the topic

That kind of gave me the answer. Thanks!

Why is that? Location? Personally I try to stay away from downloads, but I admit that's just me. Depending on where you're at there are options for buying the disc, and there are members who are willing to help out if we can.
