Just remember you asked for it.

That is the funniest thing I've ever read here, bar none.

I for one am so happy I didn't fall for the scam and buy this game.

After the major issues recently with games royally screwing us over I vowed never to back/preorder ever again and instead wait for release and see what happens.

Behold no offline single player? That is to me the alpha-omega of if I should get a game. I do not play online games (unless it is a MP session with a friend or two) I expected and was told by the kickstarter that this game WOULD work offline single player. Yet I see people crying that is not so.

I am extremely disappointed with Frontier on this not only did they break promises but they flat out lied.

They would NOT have gotton 1.5 MILLION dollars if they had told people *Hey this game is going to be online only even for single player* do you think that kind of bull works now a days? After what happened the new SimCity etc? NOBODY wants that sort of bull.

It makes me sad reading all the comments from people who are trying their best to get a refund because they got lied to.

Frontier has become nothing but $$$ greed and did not deserve the money they got.

Of course Frontier can change things go back to what was promised and make everybody happy again including me.

This is the kind of bull I expect from EA... Not Frontier not a game we waited about 2 decades for... For shame Frontier for shame.

ITT bads who cant take the pressure of running into a person once every decade

Maybe because I wanted to buy the game? Maybe because I wanted 2 decades for the game? Only to get the same treatment that SimCity gave people.

Always online is one of the worst if not the worst DRM imagine when the company abandons the game and you cant play it anymore? Guess what the original Elite still works today because it doesnt use this insane DRM.

Yeah, I too feel really betrayed when a company doesn't make a product that I specifically have been longing for. I mean, it's 2015: where's my damn hoverboard?!?

You think the apocalypse was needed to screw up the playstation network at christmas recently? or countless other online games last year? Ah must be nice living in that wonderland of yours.

Iskariot · Jan 20, 2015

Very, very happy I bought this game.
Not so happy about some of the people who troll the forums though.

Zylark · Jan 20, 2015

Quick question Sarah: Shouldn't you have a Frontier avatar? (Not really bothereing me, just curious ;o)

( Light hearted

Can foxes really live in space

Yes Sarah should have a Devs Avatar imho.

As for OP

Your point is ............................................................................ :S

Back to real topic, do we have a raffle/lucky dip on what Sarah has for an Avatar

This is the best thing I have read on the internet this week... So far.

Come the end of the world I highly doubt that I will be scrambling to grab my PC/Laptop/Phone what ever as I head to the mountains. I got everything I need to survive out there. And really if the game servers are down because some script kiddie decided to DDoS the servers so what? You take your bumps and move on.

I think I'm subbing to UberFoX, he reminds me of the guys in the city with the sign sandwiches that say "The end is coming", "Repent, Repent, Repent"

It wasn't fiction for the SimCity players, playstation players at christmas and countless other instances.

How are FD going to take my free copy original Elite they gave out which is offline only off me, then make it online only, should I hide my USB stick?

Edit... I forgot to say I'm happy you are happy... too many negative threads on this forum and it's great to see happy posters
