That is a good sign. The only problem that bothers me with devs listening to the gamers is it can have disasterous effects. RSE learned that the hard way and had to reimplement something that only a few gamers wanted removed. The outcry was large to have it replaced. Certainly, there are many things that SH3 should and could have implemented to make it better, but at what expense? Do we want rediculously easy missions that we know we can beat without getting sunk by depth charges or hedgehogs or do we want a rediculously hard game that we have no chance in winning even if we manage to escape a depth charge attack?
A SF colleague at GR.net made a good point about games and realism, to much realism would make for a dull game. Most spec ops missions are rather dull as I suspect real u-boat tours were. If u-boats only encountered a convoy every 3rd time out (don't quote me as I am speculating which isn't a good thing to do), then most of thier patrols didn't net even one sighting for some action. That would make for a very dull game and no one would want to buy it. That is something we gamers need to think about.

I'm easy: I just want a dynamic campaign instead of canned goods.
If that makes for a "dull game that nobody would buy", then I guess that the people at Dynamix must've been buying their own games, because otherwise I can't explain the sales of that incredibly "dull" dynamic campaign infested AoD.
Still doesn't quite explain why people are still playing it, though.
