Depends on the kind of game we're examining. Ubisoft may make money from more popular games but it doesn't make that much from simulators, so they act accordingly when deciding how much money to put into the whole thing.

Case in point, Silent Hunter 5. The development team that made that one was actually a Ubisoft studio, they were part of Ubisoft and not an independent group like 1c who's just publishing through them. Well, when it was obvious the game would need a lot of work to get it up to speed, Ubi decided to not spend any more money on it and completely pulled the plug on the project after a couple of patches.

In other words, yes, it sucks that our favorite games are so expensive to make and don't sell enough and we have to put up with long development cycles and post-release patching as a result of that, but seeing other cases in the simulator world i'd say let's consider ourselves lucky to have a new sim that is actually getting fixed as time goes by.
