FD can't delay it though. The PC one has to release before the end of the quarter as set out by its LSE statement.

Is that true? Also, if yes, why does that only affect the PC version and not console?
Nollocks, Horizon "fractured" the players just as well and whether consoles get it with or separate from PC doesn't matter since there isn't any cross play in the first place. In other words, no one will know if some other dude on another platform plays or doesnt ED.
In the politest possible way, there were 8 million 'free' Epic accounts created in a week, Frontier would be very short-sighted (in a business sense) to delay the DLC release on PC and lose potential sales to these 'new' players whilst they are still in the 'honeymoon period' with the game. (after all, they need to make some effort to recoup as much of the development cost of the DLC as possible)Is that true? Also, if yes, why does that only affect the PC version and not console?
There is unlikely to be such a massive takeup of the game on Consoles even if ED was included in PS Plus for a month (not impossible, just unlikely as ED is very much a niche game - although Odyssey may be attractive to some just by being what appears to be a reasonable shoot-em-up) or whatever Microsoft offer for the Xbox series.
The chances are that some console players will drift away from the game during the delay, but they may have already been thinking of abandoning the game anyway.
You might want to read what you wrote again, it appears even you don't understand what you're suggesting.

He just keeps insisting on there being a beta period instead of an official live release. He claims that is not a delay because there is a beta where people can play.
What he’s ignoring is everyone telling him that a beta release instead of a live release IS, in fact, a delay because it is not production and the game is not saved for people participating in it.
Bottom line is if Odyssey is not running on live servers by “late spring”, then it is considered a delay.
That's a very interpretive statement. Do you play on console or PC?

Both. Contrary to popular theory it's possible to own both a console and a PC, and be happy to dip in between the two. I don't think we should be deriding others simply for making a different choice. Similarly, the general progressive trend is for games to become platform agnostic and I see this particular announcement about Odyssey as a backwards step in the opposite direction.
There is another way is all I'm saying. Forget the past, stride into the future together, for a shared Odyssey.
Oh and if people want console and pc equality with release dates I'll take your 2-3 months delay for console Odyssey and raise you a couple years for most pc releases of GTA games.
Sometimes, a dev prioritises a platform. That Elite prioritises PC should not be a surprise. And it's definitely not a big deal, not when it's a few short months of summer...

To be fair it doesn't matter. He could quite easily play on pc but still want ED:O to be not delayed but not released until console releases (his words not mine). I still don't agree with him but the 2 points are not necessarily contradictory.
(Tho not delaying but not releasing until console is ready IS of course completely contradictory
)Both is again open to interpretation. I have the game on console and PC, have played on both. But I don't play on console anymore, so I don't feel I could honestly claim I play on both. Maybe some people have a poor quality PC so mostly play on console, which might cause them to campaign for the PC version to be delayed.
Well, not exactly shared as there is not, nor apparently likely to be, crossplay... So me and my game friends on both PC and consoles will never meet in-game to play alongside each other... Yes, I can play with squadron members on PC, or PS4 - yet never 'meet' the Xbox members...
So together? Not really, although the sentiment is nice.
Yeah that's a whole other discussion, and something that I believe needs to change for the longer-term success of the game.
I play on both. My PC and console are relatively similar in terms of 'grunt'. I will be playing Odyssey on PC.
Hopefully alongside all of our excellent community, not a subset.
Well, I suppose you could put off buying Odyssey until it is released on all platforms, to show solidarity to "The Community", that would work.
Oh, I don't believe so - I quoted your original post in large, easy to read, text very recently.I sense you're deliberately missing the point CMDR
Do you not consider it strange that "The Community" have not rallied, in their masses, to your call, but instead rejected it? Or perhaps this is not "The Community" you mean?
Now you're referencing a completely different post. Nevermind.
To answer your question, No I don't find it strange, considering the demographic of this section of the forum.
