That's the same year Planet Coaster was released!
Which we all know is where it started going wrong for ED.
Where did it go wrong?

Despite you gracelessly not quoting what you were responding to, it was a post where "they" referred to specific people in specific threads, not everyone on the entire forum. So your "correction" is basically pointed entirely at your own misunderstanding.
And bug fixes in following updates as "that's how development is supposed to work" is a pretty bold claim in the same sentence where you're decrying bug fixes being rolled out in a following update.
I don't think they really mis-stepped, but for me Elite got less and less interesting with every update that favored combat and "modern" gameplay instead of the simulation and actual space content. The science behind the game is what keeps me playing, and though I'm still playing I miss the great space sim it was supposed to be (according to its prequels and my preference.)
Screeching is always the outcome usually of the entitled type.
You've got the forum undead, the single issue obsessives, the pre-purchase reading failures and of course the ones who never actually played at all none of whom actually have the first clue what's going on with the game making the most noise. None of them have anything useful to contribute, so FDEV just ignore them as they should.
If they tried to explain the roadmap to them they'd simply ignore it again.
You get all subsequent DLC for no further charge, if there is any. That's all there is to an LEP.

There hasn't been anything yet Stigbob.
Are you sure there's been no DLC? Are you sure?
I am. Do you want me to explain it again?
Good thing that nobody said that.
See? That's the correct use of the word 'nobody'.
You'll be shocked to learn about the Horizons expansion, then.
Except for horizons and beyond obviously.
And yet what you said was:Yes I thought it was obvious too
So hey, let's get that explanation about how Horizons isn't an expansion, go for it.
How about you have a go at guessing?
Well, they added defensive modules which give you a huge amount of health and compete for space with the modules used to engage with the have world, then they added engineering that both was a grind, a massive upgraded in power, and comically poorly balanced, then they made said engineering less of a grind (but still a big grind), and doubled-down on it being any even BIGGER upgrade in power, and even more poorly balanced. Plenty of other mistakes have been made too, but all of them pale in comparison to the damage done to both the game's design and to the game's soul by the aforementioned changes.
Why not. Nice try. But:
I said weekly. Progress reports. I know it´s hard to believe, but yes - weekly.
So yes - communication has changed. You may want to defend your position, but in fact the frequency of News decreased over the past few years.
Horizon was planned for 1 year. So we have 3 "seasons" missing yet.
Why would I have to make your argument for you?
You're the one who made the claim. Let's hear you back it up, since it's so "obvious": How is Horizons not an expansion?
Mm, swing and a miss, mate. Remember, claim here is that there are no expansions. Don't try and move the goalposts.
Well you could just read my response to Stigbob's post, it's all there
So extrapolate. Guess, based on the context, what you think I meant. I'll put something up later if you genuinely can't figure out what I mean.
I don´t care how you name it. At least things have gone pretty wrong since 2015 and as stated before I have some hopes that everyone realized that the game design was - lets say - not top of the list and that they immediately started to go for a second Elite franchise. And if that´s not the case I feel ripped off. End of story.
Sorry that I am not posting your opinion but mine.
