Are you asking as a Planet Zoo fan?
Just helping Paul gauge the correct answer :)
Who the hell knows when PZ has this in its patch notes

Is EDs narrative leaking into the animal packing sim?

It should be noted that the Elite section of the forum, got a thread about the new stream ... and the others didn't, they have to make do with the general Frontier section thread.
This speaks volumes about the attitudes and it's nice someone noticed it. Because all of Frontier's communities except Elite are

And Elite's is

So when it comes to livestream, make sure you act decently and leave the attitude at the door :)

PC guy #1: Hayo! I make sunny happy amusement parks, what do you do Rubbernuke? I see you love Chief Beef too!!! Flying spaceships sure looks fun!!!!!! :love:

Me: Would you like a Kumo Burger?

PC GUY #1: Totally yum!!! You ED guys sure are friendly! I hear a lot about something called "Powerplay"- is that a rollercoaster?

Me: Rubs hands

If you 'd ask to someone like me, that would watch the lives without subtitles half for the news, half to improve in English, and then I had to sum up:

''Herr... They said the race manager is now having better plasma guns in order to chase those raptors hunting elephants around the track. I think?''🤭

I started ED as an innocent sympathetic space enthusiast, but after a few months, I can feel that I am slowly turning onto a greedy looter just like the rest of you, older conspirators and mercenaries. 😂
 
do we get then Panther Clipper ? after 10 years release include the missing ships from older elite versions please

The last part should go without saying. But for your former point, as far as I can tell, the size of Elite's community here dwarfs the other games', which also means it's easier to pick out the same amount of certain examples. That doesn't mean that the community is any worse.

Elite is the only livestream I've ever modded for (across all companies and individuals) where we regularly have to moderate things before the stream has even started. You're correct though there's more Elite users on these forums.

I think that is a little unfair............... from my perspective I only have very limited time to listen to streams and am only interested in certain games.

whilst i wish all of the planet zoo gamers well, its just not a game which I have any interest in, just like I am not interested in DOTA or counter strike or (insert many games here).
I am however incredibly interested in elite dangerous and we (by we i mean more more than just me, NOT everyone!) have been really given scraps for a fairly long time now WRT the state of new content going forward.

2021 was when it was announced an ingame feature would get a major rework. I dont think it is being impatient to expect a proper update on what is going in in 2024 is an unreasonable ask.
It would also be good to know if FD are likely done on paid expansions now just for expectation management but i am not expecting that.

but i dont think any of the above means I have "attitude" personally. Am just dissapointed with the updates - or lack of - from FD and would like an update on what is going on with Elite in the medium term.
Whilst I would never be rude on a live stream - i rarely comment at all tbh some (not all) of the angst shown in some of the comments I have seen on past streams is somewhat justified imo.

Another way to look at this is FDev realised they had focus problems, and have restructured themselves to be properly across all their "invest" or "maintain" games - which includes ED.

So now Elite Dangerous benefits from a studio focused on sustainability, with funding to do some things properly rather than everything with random gaps; and with a studio-sized creative team steering rather than what I suspect was largely a skunkworks team plus maybe two heads that had "ED" in their jd (and even they were spread across products in 22/23)

The model they have now can work really, really well. So can a fully-funded model with dedicated headcount if the product has the reach and the cash / brand value generation to support it.

What does not work is half-assing either of these approaches so #mepersonally this is all good news, because we know where we are now!
I didn't realise someone outside of Frontier (you'd have a Frontier account on here otherwise) was so knowledgeable of the inner workings of its staffing structure and work allocation. Yes I'm being sarcastic, and no, I don't mean to cause any offence by it.

Don't worry I'm not that pedantic. While I don't really disagree, I think you'll find that information about updates for the other games has always been a similar. I am also eager to see what's going on this year

Not all members of the community react the same obviously. The screenshots are merely a snapshot to emphasise the different reactions to news of a stream.
