I said at the time that dumping on SH5 as hard as this community did was only going to drive away the one publisher prepared to take the risk, and I'm afraid that's exactly what happened. It was likely already a break-even series for Ubi, so all the bad press achieved was making it even easier for them to write it off and move on to more profitable ventures. At this point I'd say we're very lucky to have UBOAT, and we either give it a chance, or else we can look forward to nothing for the foreseeable future. Eventually the older titles will struggle with newer operating systems, and if there's no new games on the horizon, then this could pose a rather significant problem for many of us. Let's not sink this one early chaps, please!

Here is a crazy idea, what about us... Subsim?
Can't we develop a game to our standard? I mean, Neal tagged along with Wolfpack, and look what happened there. A pretty damn good game. And I know we have great guys here who are, were, or interested in game development. Can we build our own superior sub simulator? I have limited game knowledge, but I would gladly help!

I'm sure it is... If it doesn't have solo though, it's a non-starter for me.

I imagine the bots will allow you more focus on a task you choose while solo-playing. It is not a requirement to run the boat. Just that you have less to worry about and not as much stress to check the menial tasks. And if you have the experience of games like SHx/SC/DW or older hands-on sub-games then you'll know how to prioritize your actions a bit better than a complete newby to the genre. And if you haven't already, just watch a few video's of how the game works. Granted, there are not so many videos (or I have not found them outside of here) where serious teams successfully attack a convoy.

I'd rather play an old working game, than a new broken game any day. In my leisure time, I like to keep frustrations to a minimum and just want to enjoy myself. And looking at the Steam scores, i'm not alone in that.

Working for now. Also, consider this, no new games means new players are unlikely to join the community, which in turn results in stagnation. Last time I checked, stagnation tends to result in the eventual demise of group, organisation, company etc.

Keeping the company financially stable so that they can stomp these bugs and start adding new content is why I bought it, not everyday you see a sub game like this. I've dealt with constant crashing but its still a joy to listen to the radio as I ogle at the interior. Very early access but its a fresh look at the genre.

I decided to give it a change and bought it, but my first impressions by watching on youtube were right, this is just not for me, just asked steam for my money back.
