Great, more revenues!

Dear FD,

I'm happy that your revenue is rocketing and this XBox release will further make you smile but can we have some quality injected into the game a lot of us are asking for since release, please?
In other words: is that possible to spend more time with the game now which makes US happy rather than brainstorming on whether you need to port ED over to Nintendo or Android next?
You know, persistency, flesh out the barebones, etc.

Yours,
Peter

We're still working on updates for Powerplay and of course on longer term features and content for all platforms.

Mr D. Braben - "For now I’m pleased to announce that if you already own Elite: Dangerous for PC and Mac, you can buy it for Xbox One and automatically receive a £5 coupon for FrontierStore.net."
At least give us all a £5 voucher for our loyal help ;)
 
If the port is:
1. Going to force the game to be dumbed down for consoles (graphically or mechanically)
2. Going to slow down development for PC users

Then I'm pretty concerned.

Lots of if's there will never be a clear answer to. No matter how fast FD puts out updates in the future, someone will always come running and say "its too slow".

I don't mind if development as a whole is slow, but if development specifically for PC is delayed because of consoles, that's a concern for me.
 
Are we going to get the game finished now you have all this income?

No more getting distracted by shiny but unneeded game modes (PP, CQC) and more of a focus on making the core professions that you PROMISED we could play as ACTUALLY WORK?

No more ignoring the serious balance issues with shield cells and weapons? At least 3/4 of the weapons in game are UTTERLY useless.

No more launching updates with inadequate beta testing and with serious issues still present?

Somehow I doubt it. You've got till no mans sky or star citizen come out. Then if the game STILL isn't complete (see above problems), me and many others will most likely jump ship.

I don't get why so many PC players seem to think that gamers on consoles are a different species.

If FDev are making stuff for a game, not for a platform. Whether it works or not is the important factor.
