Case for continuing with Elite Dangerous:
Case for Elite Dangerous 2:
- Keeping to one game reduces confusion with the franchise
- Sunk cost fallacy: so much time, dev hours and money has been invested in this game, it might be better to keep going
- Elite Dangerous is a known quantity
- It's easier to keep going than it is to do something new
Case for Elite Dangerous 2:
- The code for ED is a mess as it has been added to and added to and each time they have to fix things that are caused when they add new code
- Frontier have learned so much since starting ED
- It would be easier to put in things the community wants that would be harder in ED because ED wasn't designed from scratch for things like walking around and ship interiors or fleet carriers etc
- Frontier are actually losing money with ED because of all the Lifetime Expansion Pass holders who aren't buying expansions like Odyssey. Elite Dangerous 2 would mean a fresh start without an LEP and therefore income from everyone, not just those without the LEP.
