I checked my store purchased products and with my 2 accounts I've spent in total 160€ (more to come now that I'm Rear Admiral).
How much LOV€ did you give to FDEV?

I've just checked my account, my last significant purchase was 28th Jan 2017, using the discount code for my 'special day'. Before that I regularly bought cosmetics, I haven't totted it up but it's easily over £100 not including the game & DLCs.
Then on the 22nd June 2017 I spent £25 as a thank you to FDev for dealing with the 5-for-1 exploit (and started a thread on punishing combat logging to give FDev an opportunity to be even-handed in their application of penalties for cheating).
Since then my only purchase was £4 on an outfit for my Cmdr in June 2018 because I felt he looked like he was sitting in his grundies. They could have got a lot more cash from me.

More than I should have, less than I wanted.
£6. I have given FD £6.
Plus the £60 for the actual game and horizons, of course.
(EDIT: And ten quid to the Kickstarter.)

Hmmm. Interesting question.
In terms of “what have I paid to Frontier?” then I’ve bought the game 5 times - 4 on PC (myself and my wife, one alt-account each) and once on PS4
I’ve bought a few paint packs, bobbleheads, and one ship kit.
However, in terms of “how much have I spent to play Elite” then we’re currently at three PCs, two Warthog HOTASs, and odd bits of controllery.

Its now virtuous to brag about microtransaction spending?
Don'tcha know? Conspicuous consumerism has been the thing since Apple came up with the iPhone!
To answer the question, just the base price of ED and Horizons so far.
A bobble head, a paint job and a voice pack. That said; nothing put out in a long time, has really hit the spot for me and. Still no love for the Cobra exclusive and not much, for the other ships, I own.
I have been thinking about, what F.D. have done or given to me, over the last year? I am an LEP owner and don't recall, anything special, dropping in my mail box, for ages.

I'm voting with my wallet too, and expecting FDev to come crashing to its knees any day now.
Any. Day. Now...
More than that (I think
I just hope frontier know that ship skin sales, or lack there of, are a majority due to the quality of the offerings.
Frontier carry a whatever they do is perfect mode of operation so probably think it’s us not them when it comes to ship skins too
See the recent post where a player mocked up some ship skin designs. Yes I would have bought many of those on sight. Compare that to the last year of weeklies.

Including the cost of the base game and Horizons, two bobbleheads and a few paintjobs about 40 quid - and I still reckon I paid too much...
€43.68
ED with Horizons I got as a gift so not counting that, above is just cosmetics. And it proves it's pure evil incarnated. €2 here, €3.5 there and bam: €43.68 down the drain for things I cannot even look at since it's enginee trail and paintjobs I cannot see without weird key combination to access remote camera.
Plus I don't earn in € and my currency exchange is heavily not in my favor, which gives the final amount even bigger. 186.50 in my local currency which is a level of branad new AAA title from a major publisher.

We were 1167 contributors for this purchase during the kickstarter.
That's the only thing I've bought since.

How about instead calculating how much you have spent vs how many hours played?
I'm just a customer, no LEP or anything. I bought the main game plus Horizons (plus one extra copy of each on sale) from Steam.
Being curious after reading this thread, I added up my purchases and - without the games and Horizons - I've spent 255 euros on ED cosmetics (WOW!)
I don't think I'm going to spend a single euro more unless they start fixing all the stupid bugs that creep in every patch.
