I haven't got a clue. The commercial implications could be zero, they could be greater than zero. All of which has nothing to do with Frontiers decision.

So when Frontier made its decision apparently for reputational reasons the commercial implications of either action or inaction didn't play a part?

Frontier rather unsurprisingly is taking a conservative approach. Do you think you can persuade them otherwise?

That's where we differ I don't find their approach conservative. How many bans did they give the Commandos who attempted to troll the DoveEnigma event? How many perma bans did they hand out when engineering cheating was rife. I ask about those events because both were covered in the gaming press. Surely you accept if this current event caused reputational damage then surely there was commensurate damage during the two events I mentioned.

It's more a rhetorical question btw because neither one of us are able to measure the reputational or financial damage but last I heard Frontier was doing fine.

EDIT:: You also need to remember that Frontier have shareholders.

Indeed they do and if they were sensitive to the will and whims of the forum and Polygons latest moral panic then the only share holders would be David Braben and Tencent.

Edited to add, no one with a 10 year old sister need apply. You're not welcome.

I'm looking forward to the solutions that can design out players with bad intentions. Should be good - you'll make billions by designing out griefing.

I wholly disagree. Having "bad intentioned" players is part of the fun on this game. People aren't all "good", and there's a near zero chance that will change in 1300 years, or ever. It's far more realistic with the option for people to run around being awful to others - and give many a chance to fight against it. If you want that kind of game, maybe one that talks about "blazing a trail in a hostile galaxy" isn't for you to play in multiplayer.

Its a fair observation. Perhaps there is something about this particular coverage that makes it stand out (think about the children!). Perhaps Frontier are not consistent in their behaviour. Perhaps different people were making those decisions in the different examples. Its all speculation this thread - we dont actually know for sure regardless of how much conviction we may personally have in our opinions.

And none of this will make much material (financial) difference either way - but that in of itself doesn't wholly dictatate how people make decisions.
