What is the reason?

Zedi · 06-25-10, 09:14 AM

The reason? It's a secret world conspiracy involving the jews and Illuminati. Now that you know.. run and don't look back!!

The reason is that they suck at running a forum.

It doesn't really matter, Ubisoft has entirely abandoned Silent Hunter, so there won't be anything on those forums anymore. The only posts from the last 10 days were people posting questions that have been answered dozens of times already and pirate copies not able to install.

Oh, and my post totally calling them out for abandoning the game, which they never responded to anyway.

SH is dead as far as Ubisoft is concerned, delete your bookmarks for their forums and just hang here.

Heh.. seems there having management issues at all levels over there.

Gorshkov · 06-25-10, 09:41 AM

I think last posts there referred mainly to never materialized so far ms-kleaneasy's promise from July 14th about answering to the SH5 community a simple question: "Dear Ubisoft: Yes or No, Is the Silent Hunter series still supported by Ubisoft????"

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...6351005768/p/2

Now I am sure the right answer is kylana's answer seen above that I can summarize as follows: "SH5 was abandoned by UBI and its present deplorable state is its final state".

And I also think an answer from UBI will never come...

Honestly, i went there like 30 times, each was just the same old crap, some uber fanboy vs. someone who like me that expected more of something else. it got bad. most of my posts were removed. most just comments on how simple stuff is missing, and why the modderes were able to fix the games many problems way before the first patch.
and how it is all just a plan for DLC to take over. Xboxes have built in wifi now, so watch at all the dlc that will be only usable if your conntcted.....oh and they talked allot about DRM over there too but most of those got deleted really quick if mis whats her-face is on at the time.

Gorshkov · 06-25-10, 10:21 AM

So now UBI is out of sub simulation business (we can expect some kind of SH6 sub-shooter to be released on consoles only) and what you propose?

SH3+GWX3 is getting more and more graphically outdated, SH4/UBM+OM+OMEGU is not fully functional Battle of Atlantic recreation due to some shortcomings and glitches, fixing SH5 v. 1.2 by modders alone seems to be very hard task to do. Well, virtual U-boat skippers are in trouble now...

its because of e3. hey, its a weekend and nobody is home. we'll make some noise next week. what are we going to tell these suckers? oh i know, we will delete and forget. that always works.

Gorshkov · 06-25-10, 01:02 PM

I don't know, I don't know...but it looks like PC gaming market evolves to be more and more unfriendly to casual customer:

- weird software DRMs sometimes affecting our rigs

- constant on-line presence required during all game-play

- you cannot resell already bought - mean your - game

- you cannot install it on another rig or reinstall as many times as you wish

- now even not all game code is present on your rig because DRM will send lacking code via Internet to you according to your in-game progress - check how Uplay engine actually works!

Is this some VlRTUAL GULAG founded for client's money??? It's really sad...

E3 was early last week, and besides Silent Hunter (and therefore, presumably the SH3 devs) weren't involved with it at all.

C'mon kylania, cut them some slack...they're obviously still very busy with E3...(well, they've got to pack their stall up - that must easily take two weeks of every Ubi manager's time).

Then of course there's the 7 day weekends they seem to have. Can't expect them to plan their time around those.

/sarcasm

Doesn't set a good precedent for anyone expecting a warning from Ubisoft before they decide to turn off the servers...

I laughed when a link to your thread was first posted here...I can't believe people actually still expect Ubisoft to respond.

Maybe one day...

What is the reason?

I can see posts from the past ten days (June 15th up to June 25th).

So, there is no reason for them to have not done something they didn't plan to not happen. However, if they had planned to have done it, it probably wouldn't have been done, but just because they didn't plan it doesn't necessarily mean that it wouldn't happen. Not happening and having happened are of course two different things that both need to be planned for, whether you take E3 into account or not. They could have planned it and now that plan has been reversed, or perhaps the reverse may be true.

Seriously - that is very funny, but from now on I'm done with Ubisoft. Regardless of whether or not they support the subsim games from now on, you have to admit they've treated us very badly and I have to say that SH5 is the last Ubisoft game I will buy.

I'll stick to supported games from now on..
