Exactly this, Sony/MS won't license it in the state it was released on PC and FDev would have had to make a FINISHED EDO for consoles.

Frontier Development are officially liars and failures
You know, it just dawned on me.
The Unreal Engine is owned by Epic Games.
Epic Games is owned by Tencent.
Guess who owns a stake in Frontier...?
Struggling to see how only another three links will get you to Kevin Bacon.
1. Frontier Developments had Jeff Goldblum do voice work for Jurassic World Evolution.
2. Jeff Goldblum did voice work in The Prince of Egypt with Steve Martin.
3. Steve Martin was in Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Kevin Bacon.
o7 Everyone, I'm a console Cmdr on PS4 with 1000's of hours in the game, all the ranks grinded out and just 30% short of Triple Elite, all the ships, engineering and a couple of billion in credits. There's no way I can ever afford a gaming pc and I've been considering deleting my Cmdr and starting out from scratch as an attempt to stay motivated and in the game. I was just wondering if I did this, would I still have access to everything I've bought in the ARX store? Is it linked to my account, or the Cmdr? Also ant thoughts on whether or not to do this at all would be appreciated.
Your cosmetics aren't affected by clearing your save. A popular and less drastic move might be to consume all your spare credits by transferring them to your carrier account, or buying a load of expensive ships.
Lol, already have multiples of all the ships. Thx for the reply.
It's interesting that when it comes to claims of consoles "getting in the way of PC progress", it seems to be forgotten that you have graphics settings on PC versions so that people with lower spec hardware can still play the game. Is it also your view that this should be removed so that this does not hold you back?
I bought a second hand Dell laptop core i7 + Quadro 2000M GPU for £450 last year when my old laptop (core i7) could not play EDO. I suspect that it may well do OK now also after the last 10 updates. I suspect that to continue playing Horizons as per current consoles, but with the updates when they come, would be cheaper still.
Then make political donations to the factions of your favourite superpower (ahem, Federation) every time you dock and open the Missions -> Support tabs in the (Federation) starport menu and see donation missions offered (by the Federation).
I’m relatively “poor” with an account of “only” about 750 million credits after more than 7 years in Elite because the Federation rightly requires me to make constant donations to their factions with whom I’m not yet allied. Costs me a fortune. But I’m doing my part.
Forward the Federation!
Yes. And you will keep your friends and private group memberships, even if you choose a different CMDR name. Your Holo-Me will be deleted though, so if you want to keep that, take screenshots of the settings in the Holo-Me editor before deleting the save.
You're entitled to your opinion of course but FDev are not spending the money on this game. We are. Just because you aren't driving the narrative does not mean that there is none. Your entitlement to play the game your way is not affected by those of us that have put epic efforts into this game that have so far been largely ignored by the devs is a disservice to us as players and supporters of this game. If on the other hand you are a streamer then you get anything you want (Sorry Obsidian Ant and Down to Earth Astronomy but it's true).

This is a good point, I don't have any issues with my original, early PS4 playing any great looking big games, NMS and Red Dead online work perfectly fine. Games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West look incredible and work perfectly. IMO Odyssey just really doesn't seem to be that impressive graphically for it to justify such hefty sys. req's. Never mind the fact that performance on PC is still not up to par even 10 going on 11 patches and almost a year down the line. People with high spec machines are still reporting sub-optimal performance where their setups usually handle anything they throw at it with ease. To me it seems the problems are less to do with consoles and more to do with the Cobra engine itself.
I know everyone is fighting to stay positive and are hopeful that Elite will improve drastically now with lots of new content, but I would urge people to remember how Fdev has behaved in the past before placing any trust in anything they say. We've all heard the "we're going to do all this stuff and it's going to be so great later on" too many times to not view these statements as anything more than platitudes intended to diffuse the community and buy time.
As a console Cmdr I have absolutely zero faith in Fdev, or in anything they say. That said, I truly hope that Fdev can elevate ED to reach its full potential. ED is a worthwhile endeavour and it deserves every ounce of effort, dedication and resources to ensure it reaches that potential.
It's what the community deserves as well even if so many of us have been severed from that community.
Ps. Love you Sally, stay strong and get well soon.
If you say so. Personally I think you are just trying to downsize me with semantics and in that you will fail.
If you didn't get it that "some" or even "most" is implied then poor you.

Er … unless I missed an about-face by Bethesda … if you’re waiting for Starfield on PlayStation, you’ll be disappointed …
Currently playing Odyssey on PC … using a PS5 controller. And you actually get less buttons that way because Steam doesn’t understand the 4-button-touch-pad-thingy properly.
This must have been a very hard choice to make, and i pitty those playing on consoles, i hope you will have as much fun with it like you always did before, and/or liquify your assets asap to join the MASTER PC race.., and emerge yourself in the great Odyssey o7
I'm glad to see Great Lord CMDR David John Braben talk about "the long term future of Elite" as we have a bunch of these "creators" crying about how its dead.., you know when its dead? when it stopped breathing., Elite is clearly still breathing, so stop spreading your NONCEsense.
It's always hard to look at your neighbours and see their grass is greener., me, i don't care for green grass, i just love Elite, and will follow where it takes me.

Xbox One pad player here... am intrigued how PS5 pad support in Windows works these days, as I fancied switching to a PS pad for a while but was put off by the faffing about with 3rd party tools to make it work... has this improved since I checked (perhaps 1-2 years ago)?
