SH Facebook Page | Forums

[GKane]

We have recently created an official Facebook page for Silent Hunter.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/.../199499913912?ref=ts

For now, you will be able to see the screenshots and videos that have been released so far. The page will be updated with more content, including some exclusive Facebook action at the beginning of next year!

We invite everybody that likes Silent Hunter to become a fan.

Reply for the complaints regarding the Silent Hunter Facebook page:

So far all the assets that are on the Silent Hunter Facebook page have been posted first on our forums (see the newest update from 4th December), our website, SubSim website or other external media. So, for the moment, the Facebook page has been simply used to duplicate, and why not, make a compilation, of all the assets that have been released so far.

Indeed, we do have in plan an exclusive Facebook action. However, even for this action we will post any new content on our forums first, so the guys that don’t have a Facebook account won’t be missing on anything.

I cannot understand where this is all going, why Facebook????, what about those who choose not to use it???? According to your post it would now appear that they will lose out because they will not see the 'exclusive content' that will be posted there.

Sorry ubisoft but you are 'seriously' losing the plot here.

THIS is you official Silent Hunter 5 site and EVERYTHING that is new and exclusive should appear here first, not on some social networking site.

There has a lot been going on here on these forums in recent weeks, the loss of Moderators for 'dubious reasons', exclusive content appearing elsewhere before it appears here, posts from the Devs appearing on other websites before they appear here and in my opinion it is not for the good of the Silent Hunter ubisoft Community.

When you release Silent Hunter 5, there will, as always, be issues and you will be looking at some of the forum members here to assist them deal with their issues as has been done in the past.

Continue the way you are going and there will be none of those people left!!!!!!!!!!!. Other websites that are dedicated to the Silent Hunter series are now looking a lot better prosepct that the forum that you lot appear to want here.

Ubisoft Forum managers and those that make ridiculous decisions like 'facebook' need to take a long hard look at whether they are in the right jobs.

Here we go again about how the "Official Silent Hunter Forums" is not good enough for everyone. I own my own Silent Hunter forum, and I would still prefer the news about any upcoming SH release to come HERE first.

This is like Pizza Hut making pizzas, but delivering them to the Spacestation, and the Astronauts tell everyone else down on earth what the pizza will taste like once they send them back to Pizza Hut so you can pick up your order. I think it would be better to go to Pizza Hut and just get the pizza directly from the source.

Otherwise, you might as well just close these forums and send all your tech questions to Subsim and BtS. Those forums lately have more respect than Ubisoft does anymore. Lots of people want me and KLCarroll to return as moderators here, but the way things have gone in the last month, I don't think I would come back even if I got paid.

Happy Holidays,
Tudds

Well Ubisoft you don't seem to learn from your past errors and exclusive content on Facebook is an error....big time.

I have just viewed your FACEBOOK page for HAWX, another of your titles. Yes you have lots of fans.....

However in 11 months those fans have made no more than a total of 80 posts and posted 3 pictures and 1 video.

The first post there broke your cardinal forum rule of No swearing.

To sum up, the Facebook page for HAWX is a waste of space...

So you are creating a facebook page for the Silent Hunter 5 release, why???, you are going to post exclusive content there, why?????

Your real 'fanbase' for that release WILL be the Official Silent Hunter ubisoft Forum. Half the people who sign up for Facebook sites are only interested in the fact that they will get more friends for their 'social network'.

You are making a serious error and others could think like me, that we are being treated as second class when you choose to post 'Exclusive content' at a micky mouse social networking site as opposed to here, the Official site for Silent Hunter, where it SHOULD be.

Ohhh, is there gonna be nudidity?
Tell us, once you're done completely alienating all the forum users (I say completely because so far its only mostly) will there be someone at Facebook to provide help when SH5 comes out in a couple months and its buggy as all hell?
Or perhaps at that time when half the world is screaming at you because they bought the game and discovered that official UBI support is non existent and theres no one left here that both knows anything and gives a crap you may very well come to regret letting certain people take a huge dump on the mods and forum users over here.

I'm not sure I believe what is being proposed here

When I first read this, I was disheartened, but then I thought, typical Ubi. You could give Ubi a shovel to dig themselves out of a hole, but even then, they would mess that up.

Some of us have been around these forums for a long time and have watched a steady decline in how Ubi operates and with the revelation that Ubi's earnings were down 52% over the last fiscal year, it is of no surprise to many fans of Ubi's games.

With the decisions to stop supporting games after 6 month (it sure seems that way) to adding more insulation (forum managers) between the company and gamers, releasing buggy games to deciding to put game info on a social networking site shows why the last years losses have happened to an extent. When will the higher ups learn that they need to interact directly with those who buy their games? Moreso, will they ever learn?

As soon as they decide to read the forums themselves instead of relying on Forum Managers to inform them, which seems almost never (Speaking from experience). No wonder this place has turned into a ghost town. Maybe I should apply for Forum Manager so we can get things done, instead of fiddling our thumbs. Then, and only then, will they learn.
