I don't think they'd put out a live stream to say the game is ending etc that would be a long dull forum post. This is actually positive news like I said in my post I hope the 12 month troubles at Frontier signal good news and re-focus on Elite Dangerous and we'll see things updated more often and more content.Sorry...Yank, here.I laughed so hard at just how British the "Yes" in this post was. No one else does this like you guys. It's an apology, acknowledgement, and a condescending jab all at the same time. Brilliant.
Thanks for the news, Paul. Sad to see it, honestly, as it signals to me that Elite is nearing its end. But we all knew that was coming eventually, didn't we?

They literally stated a few posts earlier that they will talk about 2024 and a lot of things upcoming, so how do you manage to arrive at such a faulty conclusion???
OT: getting news from other games too is something i am finding interesting. -for me WF/40K (auld world) is a hobby.
You underestimate the ability of the Hellmouth to attract Doomons.As a great man once said in a dry British accent:
This livestream is all about positive news, a shiny stream rebrand doesn't really work for doom.
Me reading that reply and remembering how old Buffy is:Well played, although I have absolutely no idea who that man is.
Yes. Let's not assume my youth. C64 CMDR here, just never watched Buffy.Me reading that reply and remembering how old Buffy is:
A) It's not a "faulty conclusion." The game is nearing its end. It's been around almost a decade. It was pitched with a ten year life cycle. It is demonstrably nearer its end than its beginning. I take no glee in that as I've been playing it for most of that time.
2) I don't assume that the game is ending tomorrow. The choice to move away from a title-specific stream to a broader, brand-inclusive stream, speaks to me of a financial and focus decision. If Elite was still trending and bringing in revenue, still hot, the title specific livestream would have carried on. With so many CM's leaving (either from FDev or to other titles) and the title's popularity waning, it makes sense to fold it into a more broad stream.
III) I'm not arguing on the internet with a stranger about a video game. Fly aimless, CMDR. o7
Well then, you're in for a treat. The first season is a bit rough but stick with it.Yes. Let's not assume my youth. C64 CMDR here, just never watched Buffy.
1) Getting news about the coming year and then saying it is near it's end is a conclusion and faulty until proven otherwise.
(yes entropy is not what it used to be and all that; i played since 2015 too)
2) They would not streamline if it was not in order to keep things going.
3) You kinda did already, and i always fly with a goal.

I love how this new exciting pan-Frontier thread has immediately filled up with ED doomsayers who clearly haven't even read any of the half-dozen threads in their own section of the forum, with Paul participating in those threads too. Y'all spend too much time in the black, Commanders? o7
I don't know if it's exciting yet, I haven't seen the new livestreams.
I think after many letdowns over the past 8 years ( and that was with a full team) , I have set my expectations to an acceptable level of disappointment .
Ok ok... This is all kind of worded weird now that we have PZ Console Context.. When the post says "Tune in Wednesday 31st January at 18:00 UTC for the very first Frontier Unlocked livestream! We'll have exciting details on TWO upcoming games, as well as a sneak peek at what’s in store throughout 2024. Does that now mean, yes, PZ Console & Daemon Hunters Console are two upcoming games?
I was under the assumption something like actually New was going to be announced as in, a game we've been working on no-one knows about yet?

Yeah, my thoughts as well and the realisation just hit. That's the definition of disappointing, if that's the case. I personally wouldn't call console ports "upcomming games", but in Frontier-ish that might actually be the case.Ok ok... This is all kind of worded weird now that we have PZ Console Context..

What's a Buffy? That's the gold blend manMe reading that reply and remembering how old Buffy is:
Excited doomsayers count?
(btw, not exactly a doomsayer here, just someone with realistic expectations about a game's lifecycle - a game that suffered a constant streak of noticeable budgetary cuts starting with December 2021)
Lets just hope with all this Nescafe Romance Man™ talk Frontier Unlocked is richer and smoother.

Paul posted this in the other thread, so I think it's a safe assumption.
I believe that Frontier's next brand new game isn't until the next financial year, so it's a bit early to be announcing that.
I'm just happy about the starting time. Finally a stream that I don't have to watch with an offset of -30 minutes after coming home from work.
