Speculating on the Odyssey Alpha

April 21st is not the release date. This is used as a placeholder by Steam, didn't FDev confirm this somewhere? :unsure:
I think what they said was we shouldn't put any store by third party release dates until Frontier have confirmed a date, which isn't quite the same thing. Given that the alpha isn't going to start until at least January, it's clear (to me at least) that there's been additional slippage (perhaps not unreasonably).
 
Where's this pessimism around "early 2021" coming from?
It is very fashionable to berate Frontier, usually (apparently) by the no-hopers who consider themselves authorities on everything from Development to Marketing...

...but leave them to it, it is the only happy thing they have in their lives 🤷‍♂️

They've found that if they predict DOOM! for every release then occasionally they will get something right - a couple of releases have been delayed, but they ignore all the ones that were on time.

Doomsters seem happy in their doom-pits, I just tend to put the worst ones on Ignore and leave them to it - mostly I just see a series of posts telling <ignored post> to cheer up :D
