Yes, that may well be the case. I know if it were my business, and I were having trouble shifting them, I'd either stop selling them, or want a reduction in price from Ubi if and when the next order was placed.

In any case, Ubi's not exactly short on money, to say little of the numerous people who paid full price on release day. I don't think they'll worry too much a few weeks down the line.

He has the honour of being the first, and hopefully, last poster on my ignore list. Rude does not even begin to describe his behaviour, and frankly I'm surprised he's still around to post such drivel; I've seen people banned for far less elsewhere.

So then....who wants to be the first to drive a Toyota with a jammed gas pedal down the Kiel Canal?

But I think there has been more SH5 crashes than Toyota crashes.

And Assassin's Creed II £15.98
looks like ubisofts DRM is a game killer

It came out at AU$110, now at EB its AU$88. Still too high to buy!

Not jammed just a "required permanent connection" to the floor!

Wow. Check out this snip from an SH5 buyer review I found on Amazon:

After a couple of days of this BS, I took it back to GameStop. I thought I'd get an argument, but they said they were instructed to take back this particular game without question, so I got my $50 bucks back.

Not good news for Ubi.

Seen it in a "shop/stall" here in Hong Kong for HK$10. Doesn't look like the official version though.

As long as the Toyota doesn't need to be connected to Ubisoft while driving, so you can go for a long drive when the Ubisoft servers go down again.

So one of their free compensations, was a game that has been free to download [FROM UBISOFT!!!] for two years now?

WTF?

I'm assuming Far Cry was also on the list?

What a bunch of con artists.

Enjoy the kool-aid boys...

yes, most unfortunate, looks like SH5 will be the last subsim we see in a long time.

BigBANGtheory · 03-26-10, 05:58 AM

Unless they examine their mistakes and re-release the game + new content. Ubisoft has already made an investment in SH5 they are unlikely just to throw in the towel after a few weeks.

Ubisoft doesn't have a monopoly on the subsim genre.
Now what may happen is this : there will be no more AAA graphics intense subsims. But this is different from saying that the subsim genre is dead in the water.

Think about it, going from SH3 to SH 5 what has been acomplished ? More graphics yes of course. And then what else ? The real improvements are nowhere to be seen because Ubisoft never cared for in the first place.
And no what I'm thinking of can never be achieved by simply modding SH 5.

Cheer up, people are still playing CFS2 and Fs9. Subsimers will have to make do with what they have. Sh3, 4 and 5.
