Because we love this game?
I don't think trying to dunk on the mods is fair or reasonable here. I've seen how many posts have been deleted in this thread already today and they're volunteers, trying to keep ahead of a torrent of effluent. Be reasonable eh?
I don’t want a second account either … I want one account with all my progress on it.
They have removed like 10 posts from a single troll but left the troll and all of their "Fdev did nothing wrong" comments sooooooo maybe a little accountability from the top down would go a long way here.
How do I know this is? A) because of the fact that you can analyze frontiers financials and share prices. B) One can take the various indicators of player population and do the math, and C) Braben himself said that he's moved the company in the direction of publishing so that it can "pay for game development" back when he announced the plans to turn Fdev into a publisher. Clearly if you have to find another source of revenue to "pay" for something, than clearly that activity is not profitable. and lastly D) if you go over to the review sections of glass door, ex employees will striaght up state the conditions at the company and how it's been sliding down hill over time. It doesn't take an economic or business major to read these breadcrumbs and figure out what is obvious, however, several economic and business majors on this site have made said analysis over the years.
And honestly, the Devs didn't decide this, Management did. As we've learned from the Odyssey debacle, the actual Devs themselves have little say in what goes on with this game. So again, management.
Yeah... New and good stuff is coming. I really hope they make a path (a real one) to console CMDRs come to PC.
Someone will be along in a moment to remind you that you can still play it but with no future.
Um becareful with the false positivity there. As of this moment there are currently NO PLANS, to allow or facilitate console -> PC account transfers, there is in fact a very distinct possibility Fdev will tell these people to just take a hike. And keep in mind the only reason why these people are making such a fluff, is precisely because they too "love this game", they are feeling betrayed right now and rightfully so. They just got told, no more game for them with no plans to move them over. Which honest is f**king stupid on Braben's part. He should have at least come with a "But don't fret, we have plans to enable you to transfer your commanders to PC"
A bus you know that will never come...
It's a pity it doesn't improve the quality of your posts. Have some sympathy for the console owners.
This would take the sting off, but I'd be playing solo. Most of the friends I've made on xbox don't have and probably won't have, a pc capable of running Ed comfortably for a while. I love the game. Don't get me wrong, I'm just really angry and disappointed. This game satisfied an itch I didn't know I had... now it's gone less than a month after it revealed this it has. Unless I want to play by myself and start from scratch. At least if there was some kind of consideration from fdev as described above it would take away some of the sting... but not all sadly.
It probably broke down.
They don’t have to worry about a lawsuit. All of our digital goods purchased with Arx are still available. A judge will not side with you just because they’re not bringing an expansion to consoles.
