Good news for Sonalysts

A totally new navy game? Perhaps in a few years.

A serious patch for DW? Perhaps in a year or 2 if we are really lucky.

Think about it.. Who uses DW for more than an hour a week? If I had to guess I would say perhaps a hundred or less.

This is not SH4 where you got thousands of players noticing issues and mass calling for new patch versions.. This is a sim that failed in the retail market by a company that has just gotten millions to do other things.

I know it is great to hope but common! It is obvious that we will either have to wait or we have to find an alternative.

Perhaps if they just make it free on steam or some other idea to attract new players they could build some extra numbers needed to convince the company to spare some programmers for the purpose of "Maintaining the best public simulation our company has ever produced" or whatever. Just an idea.

Edit: Also consider this... SCS may want to distance itself from DW. I have seen many failed games completely abandoned by their companies from what I see to be a want for the failure to "vanish" in the minds of the retailers.
