Here you go. That J Mitchell also selling is a top man at Tencent. Go figure.

Public filings. E.g. just Google "Braben selling FDEV". So far he's taken out more that half ED has ever earned.
I don't see in the above image David Braben making £50m+ from selling his shares? Surely you didn't pull such a nonsense statement from your bottom? ;)

And these are "insider" transactions, who's to say that some of the funds weren't part of Fdev's capital?
Some or all of the revenue made on these shares could've been directed straight to the company.
It can be lucrative for a company to internally sell and buy back, or vice versa, shares over a certain short/longer period of time.

That's not what "Insider" transactions means; they're people of influence within FDev, so have "insider" knowledge.

None of the revenue listed in the image went to/from FDev, only between shareholders and investors - FDev are a publicly traded stock.

The transactions involving FDev as a company buying/selling shares would be listed elsewhere (e.g. like Tencent buying 9%).
 
You don't see because your so-called full image is missing most of D Braben's sales. E.g. this one of £27m alone.

Hahaha, my so-called full image? I posted the original image from which you cropped. Don't blame other people when the sources you provide are unreliable and incomplete :D

with £47m accounted for he's still getting pretty close to the £50m you called nonsense, though ;-)

we still don't see all transactions. he might aswell have bought some back (and forth?). this is just noise, though. that frontier is a money printer and braben is getting richer by the day seems an obvious assumption. good for him.

and tencent's 8% doesn't mean by any stretch that tencent is throwing ed into a microtransaction frenzy. that was the goal all the way, of course you wouldn't expect much detailed discussion about that in those lovely 'dd forums' back in the day, but frontier has eloquently stated as much in their successive financial reports year after year and it was just natural for them to seek similarly oriented partnerships. this is not about ed, but about the whole business.

stop messing around and go buy some paintjobs and alt accounts, guys! thanks for your support!

Yeah I get you but what I meant was, these insiders bought/sold Fdev shares as private investors but these transactions could be strategic investments beneficiary towards FDev's stock revenue.
I've bought/sold shares from the company I'm in partnership with, as a private, knowing it would be beneficial to the company's stock revenue at that certain time.
No it's not the same as dealing in shares with upfront knowledge, that's illegal lol.

I don't know all ins and outs like I said before, there are people much more capable then I am taking care of those things for me.

You missed the fact I didn't provide the source. I provided data checked, reliable and accurate, next to which you found data which you mistook for complete without checking
You appear to have the memory of a goldfish. Here you go:

Hahaha! :D
 
Yes indeedy. If D Braben thought FD was worth putting money into, he could have. He didn't. Same goes for the other two taking money out there, Chairman and Mr Tencent.

Uhm to my knowledge you don't take money out of a company by selling your shares from that company.
You'd have to own/buy them first in order to be able to sell them thus investing in said company.
Unless Braben stole those shares or got them as a present which is highly unlikely.
The shares are part of FDev, a commodity to gain revenue, initially the shares are FDev's property not Mr. Braben's.
 
"Incredible new ED experience" is a bold statement. I truly hope Frontier delivers something incredible that will revive ED on current platforms and the Playstation 5, new Xbox.
You can believe it ?

I guess the delay in the development is really a consequence of the current Corona crisis.

I don't think the eager Chinese of Tencent for the acquisitions and the financial results would be happy with a delay.
