The purpose of the simulator is to move your ship around without getting damaged as it is in real life, otherwise any idiot could go out and captain a supertanker, the difference here in the sim is we do have idiots that sail around with the intent of sinking themselves and others in the process, if you are one of these idiots then you are probably too stupid to realise that posting your video showing a real life shipping company's vessel either in distress or sinking or not being used for it's intended purpose on the internet via youtube or any other medium outside of shipsimulator, is wrong and could lead to shipping companies taking action against you and VSTEP therefore ruining the the chance of them ever granting permission for their ships or logo's to be used again, this will also put other shipping companies off allowing models of their ships in to the sim.
What happens in the simulator including multiplayer is not on view to anyone outside of the game, so only those who have paid for the game can witness ships sinking, the minute it goes outside of this bubble I'm pretty sure that is not what the shipping companies intended when they gave permission for their vessels to be used, most shipping companies especially those who carry passengers don't even allow their crews to be seen drinking alcohol in a public place wearing any company uniform or logo even when off duty and they definitely don't like their employees posting videos of their ships or the goings on onboard their ships when crew are on or off duty, so i guess they won't be overjoyed with seeing the pride of their fleet doing flips, sinking and ramming other ships do you?
Think Idiots think!
