I'm not aware of any restriction to a creating a DLC with a different PEGI rating to the base game, outside that sale of that DLC has to be restricted accordingly. Given this how these ratings are applied depends on the distributor or store in question. A company I once worked for had a children's app rejected from the Apple App Store on the basis that it depicted a cartoon cow that went moo when you pressed it's udders. This was apparently considered overtly sexual.

Indeed, that's what he said.
That's hilarious.
I believe you are a little overreacting because of the influence of the Tubers and this forums.The funding rug has probably already been pulled out, even before the release of Odyssey alpha. FDev have other games, and they are worth more money to them. That's the most likely reason why they've given absolutely no details at all about what happens after the console release - and every time the question is asked directly of them - they respond with typical stony silence. Good old honest, open Frontier, eh? It's also a big underlying reason why the community is so frustrated & angry, whether they realise it or not. There's no direction, and they don't seem to know what they're doing or where they're going.
Additionally, the crap release of Odyssey is hardly an isolated incident in the history of E: D. Those who have been around for a while & had their blinkers forcibly removed by previous FDev stunts & lies could see this release coming a mile off. It wasn't a surprise. We just hoped that somehow, someone at FDev would stop the train before it smashed into the shopping mall instead of arriving safely at the station. But FDev's hubris ('validated' by the "everything is fine" white knights) made sure that would never happen, so we are where we are.
That same hubris, ably demonstrated by them over the last few weeks since the release, means that they're not going to pull a No Man's Sky with this. It isn't going to be fixed and suddenly become a great game after a shaky launch. Hence people are leaving in droves, disillusioned and disappointed. Why anyone would blame utubers for this is beyond me.
Odyssey is huge, and like every other content patch before it, it was built entirely separately from the base game. Doubt anyone even bothered to play it while they were developing Odyssey. So now they can't integrate it, and the player base has a hard split. Nothing in Odyssey reflects back into the base game, and vice versa. Even when they fix the bugs and performance, that basic issue will remain - just as it has for Powerplay, Multicrew, mining, trading, etc etc.
If this was a one-off, then "supporting the game through a tricky time" would have some merit. But the real & sad fact is, it's just the latest in a very very long line of FDev failures, and it's the biggest one yet & brought everything home to roost. Now the blinkers are off more people - and they're seeing the game for what it ultimately is. Especially when there are so many other games out there that are wiping the floor with E: D on almost every level.
Shallow, repetitive, badly designed, and unfortunately a bit crap.
No Man Sky took 2 or so years to make a proper come back. It hasn't been even 2 month since Odyssey launch.
Few weeks or months from now, all this turn coat Tubers will come back runing to Elite as if nothing has happend. Don't fall for their tricks. You will feel very silly because of it later.
I put it down to it being American. They're a lot more puritanical on the other side of the pond.
Why do you think that a proper come back is planned?
A proper comeback hasn't been planned - it's not been two months since Odyssey launched on PC, and the Odyssey console launch is up next due within 5 months.
NMS took 2 years to do theirs, and made no announcements during the interim (outside of three updates that were barely noticed).
When Elite has 200 viewers and SC has 4.5K on Twitch then the CCs know where to go for eyeballs and Elite isn't it right now.
Let me rephrase that then, why do you think that a proper come back is intended to be planned?
You'll have to admit that Hello Games has been the notable exception to the rule - I'm not sure there's ever been a come back quite like that before or since in a game.
I see you found this thread. Viewers on twitch come and go. And we are talking about Elite, not the other game.
We are also talking about why they are leaving. Chasing viewers "elsewhere".
not in Vegas we aint.
Well apparently thats 'in the pipe' now, according to Sally.Please don't trigger me.
Will we see anything I wonder?
My default response to development updates is: "We'll see."
Nothing against the current CMs or Dev Team, but, we've been here before. Many, many times.

Yep. I think the CMs and FD are finally finding out what happens when patience runs out.
By pipe, I assume its been put under a devs nose. When / if it gets fixed for realz I don't know.
