Good news for ED from FD stock trade report as usual

i am no market analyst but net cash 8.9mil with no overdraft sounds like a decent place to be to me!.**

Hopefully Frontier are able to use the technology in planet coaster in elite dangerous, (and vice versa) to mean the more games they create the more "stuff" they get to pad out all their games which will make them more cost efficient.

** that being said I suppose it does depend on the number of people in the company

50 people pulling an average wage of say 30k plus material expenses and property rental costs will soon eat through money I suppose so they need to keep at it ;)

(I take it there is no way of knowing how many developers they have working on ED and on PC in total is there?)

Good to hear this news and most encouraging regarding future updates and expansion packs.
Let's all celebrate and buy another Bobble head. \o/

I imagine the launch of paint jobs for XB1 has given them a tidy cash injection too, despite the teething problems - the store almost buckled under the traffic!

(hopefully they work out a fix to the signing in bug soon, that really sucks)

Planet Coaster has gotten off to a very good start. It looks impressive even at Alpha stage. I have a feeling that game will do very well.

The only reason I haven't bought that game is because I can't afford it right now.

Lucky to get my monthly issue of PC Gamer. :(

In January, FD reported 1.4 million copies sold. Now in April, the number is 1.5 million. In september 2015 the number of copies sold was 825,000. Solid numbers, I don't think we know how many has purchased Horizons though?

I hope they do well with Planet Coaster, perhaps even better than ED. Excellent game even though I don't usually play games in the genre! And my daughter loves it too, even though she isn't too fond of ED :)

I'd say PC will sell more than ED tbh.. is more of a mainstream game, and it's competition is pants by comparison..

FD are making themselves quite a reputation as a publisher I would say, good news for all :)

It's only the second page. Just give it a few more comments. We'll be onto Star Citizen comparisons by page 4 and (World War 2) if we hit page 9.

Haha.

No, let's be fair. Greater parity across platforms is good for everyone. Helps FD's reputation, which means better sales.
