Commanders profile are on Fdev servers not the console.. so as the users stated You had to manualy click delete in profile to leave the game other wise its still there and you have not left the game you are still taking up server file space.
In answer to the title; yes I would like it back on xbox.
I understand that legacy is still available and until very recently I still partook of legacy quite frequently. Its still the best space sim available on console (I count Starfield as RPG and not a sim
but i still love it).
I play odyssey via GFN but it's not the same feeling I got on xbox so would prefer a native console version of odyssey.
I like to think that fdev did try their best to get it to work on console (evidence via a tweet by Dr Kay : Source: https://twitter.com/drkayross/status/1501985758076411909?t=irXjsB0FdVTUTqiL1I6bEw&s=19

I don't believe that a xbox version will emerge as that will take dev time away and it appears that dev time for EDO is at a premium at the moment.

Extra the DLC Odyssey has not been developed for ages.
Engine 4.0 is what's being worked on and everybody on PC gets that without paying extra.
Odyssey DLC has not had any game mode content exclusive for a long time.
They have given 4.0 away for nothing to all PC users.
Thats what changed. the 4.0 engine upgrade is free on PC Not exclusive to a DLC mode. So No money is paid by users for the engine upgrade now.

Frontier had disastrous financial results, and the quickest and easiest way to appease shareholders was to halt console development. That's it.In answer to the title; yes I would like it back on xbox.

I suspect you're correct, even considering the consequential loss of sales for their other titles from disgruntled console consumers. Future (possible) profit is someone else's problem when they could pay shareholders immediately.
Just like you im speculating but i doubt that's the case, why miss out on the extra revenue if it could have easily been implemented?
Folks just need to face facts that consoles aint PCs.

Cough cough Starfield cough Flight Simulator cough cough Space Engineers cough cough cough..
Oi, I must be catching cold, or maybe it's allergies?
I said it because that's what happened. It was a short-sighted, short-term fix.
Oh you want depth (aka lots of planets):All developed for console and not as in depth as Elite
cough cough No Man's Sky cough cough
Unless you're talking about depth perception, the kind you get in VR, in which case I'll grant you the win (even though NMS supports VR on PS4).
ps - if consoles ain't PCs, why you in this thread? At least I like consoles.
It appears that it wasn't as easy as all that, if Dr Kay is correct and there was a determined effort to release on console, then a cost benefit decision would have to be made. It took time to achieve stability on the primary platform (PC), there were other IPs in the pipeline, shareholders wanting returns etc. Ceasing all dev work on the console platform to free up valuable resources would be, to me, very compelling. Thus I think Bongo could well be correct.
Don't know what to say about this, I don't think I understand the reason behind it.
Unless a game is specfically designed for console ie using the controls etc, trying to do it later wont work.
Look at other complicated games like Everqest, WOW, even Star Citizen, too many controls for a console to handle.

I'm not sure what not being able to get the Cobra Engine to work well on consoles has to do with titles that don't use the Cobra engine. Now, if all those games used the Cobra engine, that'd be an interesting development. The Cobra engine barely works on PCs.
That's a good point; I find Kerbal a tad awkward sometimes. However I must commend FDev on their controller mapping, certainly on xbox, that I have button combinations to spare on legacy. Even when I dabble into odyssey FDev have managed to design it so that I can add whatever I need just onto the basic controller, and after discovering that EDO supports the xbox chatpad I can add superfluous actions such as waving at strangers to that. Confession: chatpad doesn't work when streaming GFN into edge on xbox but does in the GFN app.
Of course this would of been designed for PC users that prefer controller input. Just a happy coincidence that it transfers to console rather well.
I've never played the other games you've mentioned so can't comment on their control scheme. I imagine that there's a multitude of key bindings.
Ive never owned a console myself but ive watched a few mates play Elite on them.
I wish Ody was playable for them but consoles were designed for fast, easy games, switch on, play with little fuss.
More complex games have only ever been produced for PC.
I just think those who believe Fdev dumped console developments as an easy option have no business sense, if it could have been done (without going bankrupt doing it), they would have done it.
Dumbing the game down to make it work would have been a huge mistake.

Hmm so we can't use a keyboard on console ? Even Elite recognised keyboards for typing in names ?
Let's be perfectly clear, the effort on Fdev part to bring it to consoles was half hearted and only to last gen with no effort for next gen .
Its gone we have legacy which gave me over 6 yrs of play on console which I enjoyed .
Fdev made their choices for whatever reason and we will never really know the truth.
