Y'know, if you permenantly erradicate humanity it can no longer complain.
It can no longer destroy everything it comes in contact with, including it's own species.
Maybe the Thargoids have it right...
Destroy all humans.
Step 1) Take your Steam stats, pop them in a box.
Step 2) Get in your best Exploration ship.
Step 3) Take a trip to Sgr A*
Step 4) Eject the box there.
Step 5) Come back.
I think essentially question is - do you enjoy game? If yes, it doesn't die, it is still ongoing, enjoy it. If you don't - then move on.
I think players should really stop factor future in their fun. Speculation is fun for a while, but eventually it runs out of steam and then it just becomes 'I like it vs. you don't like it' forum fight, which is boring as hell.
Step 5 is optional?
Did we really NEED yet another one of these threads? Were the other 2 that are still open not good enough?![]()
I do wonder how that's going. Is Elite already up on the Tencent platform? I'd imagine Frontier would announce something like that.
How many times we've heard this since the game released?
Well, it's almost 2018 and the game is doing fine:

This is only from Steam. Which is probably around half of the playerbase, looking at the Steam sales out of the 2.75 million copies sold back in August.
And yes, this thread serves pretty much no purpose. Which is why it fits right in.
So who's starting the pool on when the first "This game is dead/dying" thread for 2018?
Imma say ... 17 days.
They are really cagey about it, understandable given all the DOOM !. The only time they ever gave a glimpse into the real numbers was when the said PVP'ers are a vocal minority, and they wanted to encourage more players into open. Beyond that it's anybody's guess.

I first acquired Steam with Skyrim. I wasn't impressed with it then, and I didn't really want it, but I was stuck with it.
To this day, I've never seen that screen anywhere, and don't care if I ever do. Since I don't work for Frontier or a Marketing firm, unit sales do not interest me.
As it so happens, sometimes I like things that are not "top sellers" or even things other people do not. Like Jar Jar Binks... only I didn't like Jar Jar either, but you get the point. I hope. If not, I didn't bring my crayons, so no detailed explanations.
Not quite. That thread is predicting the end of DOOOOM threads
Stats don't lie. (But I might).
Yet as long as a game is an online game you SHOULD have interest in such numbers, unless you alone can convince a company that you alone will be paying for the servers that the game needs to be run on.
So what total percentage of the player base does this actually reflect?

The Steam stats don't even reflect those of us who have Steam accounts correctly. For instance, my Steam account says I've played less than 5 hours. Ingame is a tad more accurate at just over 3370.
Silly Steam stats.
