He was not posting as a mod. That is very clear based on the color of his posts. Are you suggesting here that he was posting in the capacity of a moderator? That can be objectively disproven.
No, I'm saying that it appears that you were trolling a mod.

And this is when you also get added to my ignore list for continuing a nonsensical argument. Have a nice day!
Can someone please quote any of my future replies to Devari? TIA :)
 
Yeah, I'm out.

It appears some strongly held opinions won't be swayed regardless of logic being introduced and it's turned into a complete troll session now.

I really do sympathize with those unsatisfied with the current schedule of development. Hopefully things will improve soon. :)

Good luck.
 
You keep saying that people are ignoring a "definite statement of intent" whilst completely ignoring the fact that that statement uses ambiguous words like "Expected" and "considered" as I have said before, those words are not there to make the sentences look pretty, they are there to clearly say 'This is our best guess at the moment' ... and the statement is over a year old.

there is no "Definitive" timeline on ED mentioned in that statement .. only speculation based off of facts.

that's all there is.

As I've said several times, unless we get updated information we should accept what FD has stated.
 
I think it's because some people have tried to make ludicrous claims in this thread such as "FD never promised anything" or "FD might deliver paid content over 20 years" when those suggestions are very clearly disputed by direct statements in the Annual Report.
Ok, we probably need to wind things back a bit.

That bit of the annual report is a positive piece of assurance.
 
And no for some reason I can't turn the flair off my posts but I'm posting as me not as a mod.... It'll all end up being my fault at some point anyway.

Other than your name appearing in blue text your posts appear to be entirely "normal" on my end so I understood your posts as being personal opinion and not moderator-related.
 
You are back to making utterly nonsensical arguments because you don't want to accept a clear statement from FD about how long they will be developing Elite.

I'm pretty sure people see what your saying but, while you can speculate what you infer, it's not writ in stone. If ED's still making money 100 years from now why would your investors want you to stop? That is, even if you did finish your LEP money 90 years ago.

You can only infer 'how long they expect to be' attributing the cash really. HMRC don't care where it comes from, as long as they can tax it and I suspect FDev put their finger in the air, said 10 years give or take and changing their mind now would rattle investors, so leave it be. LEP money spread over more time isn't worth having on the company books and if the game is really self-sustaining over a longer period than that, then that's because there's a new generation of players who are probably not going to get offered the LEP. (Phew)

Investors among us have long explained it is *minimal* time span of ED FD as company expects it to have. See it as skeptical POV.

As long as ED will remain profitable and interesting - and ED numbers according to FD management - remember they are publicly traded - have never been better.

Stop grasping at straws. Yes, new premium DLCs are late. Yes, we all would like to get some news. Other than that it is all pointless to endlessly argue.
 
As I've said several times, unless we get updated information we should accept what FD has stated.

I get that, except for the fact that the original statement of "expected lifetime" is not a definitive "The game ends here" statement. It's ambiguous at best.

They basically said "we think ED will last this long" not "ED will last this long.

Also I wouldn't put so many people on your ignore list, you don't have to answer people who disagree with you, but you are limiting your chances of some good discussion in the future. You have to be careful not to limit yourself to only seeing posts of people who agree with you. That's not a good place to be. intellectually wise.

Are you implying that it would have been a reasonable assumption that you do?

Or are you implying that it should have been obvious in the same manner that FDEV will not provide a season per year as it is customary in entertainment?

I'm saying that not saying you won't do something is not the same as saying you will do it.

Except that Horizons was actually sold for $45 USD in 2015, not $60 USD because of the automatic "discount" applied for anyone who owns the base game. FD can't get around the issue of needing to deliver adequate LEP value simply by pricing the next expansion at $135 simply to claim that LEP owners got proper "value". No one would trust FD if they tried something that utterly dishonest.

Then you'll need two or three more updates rather than one. Do you honestly think FD won't do two or three more paid updates?

I don't think it's "stupid", but rather assumption based on historical precedence ....
Your 'historical precedence' is based on it happening ONCE before. Season 2 (Horizons) came out one year after the base game. The last part of Horizons didn't release for another year and 10 months. Season 3 (Beyond) over two years after the launch of 2.0. So we are in the third season and only one (the first) took just a year. I would say the 'historical precedence' such as it is, shows that a season 'normally' takes more than a year.

Q "Where is the paid 'content' LEP holder get for 'free'"

A "It's coming"

So you suggest to charge enough money to buy a whole AAA game for a paint job?
Good point, it should be monocles instead. EVE charged $60 for those, while SC backers get one for pledging $1k+ [yesnod]

If Elite offered a gold monocle & top hat bundle, well that's worth $hundreds!

I leave for a couple hours and the thread turns into a semantics nitpick fest? There's even a mod nitpicking semantics? What the hell people? This is not about semantics, this is about the fact that FD are leaving LEP holders in the dark and out in the cold.
