4.0 | Now Live

If you are just a gamer, why would you like to know 'corporate' reasons? Sally clearly stated in the OP that they won't discuss any instancing situations here, they have the right to keep technical and/or marketing reasons for insiders only.

I just can't see the problem here, lets say your 'squadron' consists of 15 friends; if 10 of them already own Odyssey, given the other 5 just tested AND LIKED Horizons 4.0 and it runs fine on their machines, they can simply buy Odyssey (or the other 10 can gift them Odyssey if some can't afford it, you're friends after all!), problem solved. If, on the other hand, the 5 non-Odyssey owners, can't run Horizons 4.0 decently on their machines, then all the group can join in 3.8 as always, problem solved. Easy as that.
"do you want to play together with friends? BuY dLc"
Can I ask you, how many odysseys did you bought for other people? Oh, 0? Okay.

Peak performance of forum.
 
This is weird. I upgraded my Ody last night (my time) and now it’s updating again to a newer version. Looking for the patch notes.
 
Omg... this is a veritable s**t storm.
Or a storm in a teacup?
Odyssey owners laugh.
Horizons owners quibbling wanting Odyssey free?
My god fdev what an unholy mess this is.
You forgot the Odyssey owners who are entitled to own Horizons 4.0 because Frontier are their slaves and everything Frontier makes is owned by them.
 
This is one I'm struggling a bit with, do Od owners really want Horizons 4?
I have Odyssey (and stuck with Horizons (3.8)) and some friends don't and at various points during their journey through the game I've helped them with various things. Now I won't be able to as I suspect Horizon (3.8) and Horizon (4.0) players won't be able to play together.

You can all meet in Horizons 3.8 when you want to play together. Or your friends buy Odyssey and support the development of the game they want to play. A key costs 10€.

No, it's some Odyssey owners being upset at not having a launcher for Horizons 4.0!

I can understand it to some point and would hope that FDev enables it, especially for fuel/hull rats, 3rd party developers, squadron leaders, etc. But on the other hand I think that the outrage is as always out of all proportion and not having Horizons 4.0 is probably a non issue for the vast majority.
 
Have you tried talking to them?
Here's the thing you don't understand: I don't need to justify why I want the things that I paid for. My money contributed to this product, and if client 4.0 can run in Horizons mode, it means I don't need client 3.8 occupying 20 GB on my hard disk any more. Again, THIS IS WHAT I PAID FOR, and the reasons why I want it are none of your business.
 
H4.0 is in all capacity the Odyssey client, which have a separate folder. I have odissey and a secondary account without odissey, an that one doesn't have to download anything else.
It's just limited to horizons features (which makes even more confusing to not being able to access it for an Odissey owner. Unless they are planning to instance them together sometime in the future, but that would be wierd communication then )
Funny thing is that now i SHOULD NOT upgrade that secondary account to Odissey if i had a serious commander on that (which i haven't) and wanted to play with some fiends who don't have odissey but still wanted to play in the current line of events (because they basically dropped H3.8 support, so, no, H4.0 is not a "courtesy", it's marketing).
Again, their business strategies are beyond me.

Nah, you didn't pay for it. You paid for Odyssey which is what you got.

Anyway, it's my business as long as you are posting on a public forum. If you don't like that, you can always leave.
