Ok. And?
I don't know, but Frontier either do or would like to explore options on how to. That's no bad thing.
*sigh* Whatever.
You honestly think there's no difference between not having any tutorials vs a set of good ones?
And that's fine. Many people (me included) enjoy that aspect of the game, or any game where learning it is part of the enjoyment of playing it. But some people find it overwhelming and give up playing in the face of not knowing what to do. If you're making a game and want people to carry on playing it then creating useful tutorials is obviously important.
And if people don't play and the lifespan of the game shortens as a result the cry will be 'it was too unfriendly and scared people away. They should have made more tutorials'. IIRC I've seen a fair share of Steam reviews complaining of similar issues.
Some players enjoy steep learning curves.
Oh totally, and Elite's tutorials could definitely use a serious buffing. I just don't understand someone getting worked up about Frontier announcing that they're going to try to improve the starter experience.

I don't know there was plenty of whinging about a year of free content, moaning about trivialities is the only constant.
So you acknowledge there is room for improvement for new players (which is also supported by steam reviews, the majority of negative reviews is from people who couldn't figure out how to fly their ship or even launch the game), but it shouldn't be done because Frontier will fail at it anyway? That argument could be applied to literally anything they want to improve, so why release updates in the first place?
Artists, project managers, DBAs, build and release team, and all the managers/scrum masters, are developers too - just like "code monkeys"/programmers.
The learning curve is steep, as the game is obscure presenting some information. You can as well turn the brightness down to 10% and claim you like hard games.
Actually it's both, it has a steep learning curve and it's pretty inaccessible in certain areas. I hope Frontier keeps the former but fixes the latter.
I do like hard games.
The new player additions are really nice, but from my point of view, it will push back 4+ months some bones that i could use in my personal experience in the game, as if it wasnt enough the slap of the 18+ months. But they are doing something for the new player experience so... yeeeey... i guess.
I'd like to insert a meme at this point, but will instead give a serious answer. As i'd be highly surprised if any of those you listed went for a Developer Role would get asked back for a 2nd interview (assuming they haven't previously been coding-developers).
No a developer does not need to be a serious code-monkey, as there's variety within the named role, but it's different skill sets, and I would not consider any of those as developers.
If that's what you truly think, we'll have to agree to disagree on this point.
I agree.
People spend far too much time worrying about the feelz of some hypothetical group to the detriment of actual groups and this nonsense is certainly a major reason why today's society sucks so much.
including cleaning staff, Catering and the guys that cut brabens footnails.
Is that a new, rare material?
