And again with the "innumerate". Somebody at FD needs to go out and buy a dictionary.

[Henkka77]

Oh look, another "newsletter" without any actual news in it.

Fdev, you really need to re-think and do a complete overhaul for your newsletter content.

[Wobblin-Gobblin]

Very uninteresting nonewsletter :/

[Jaiotu]

Newsletter needs more salt.

[Patrick_68000]

Newsletter needs more salt.

And also more pepper

[Fosdyke]

Newsletter needs more salt.

Around June, with the PS4 release we will surely see something interesting in terms of additional developments.

And also more pepper

Add a pinch of sage and bring it to a boil.

Yes just before the summer holidays to make us wait until September / October

[Winterwalker]

Worth every penny, cheers for the letter FD!

And that's just for news about the Aquarian Job, and SushiCW's downright incredible, 3000km in SRV saved run

[Besensec]

And again with the "innumerate". Somebody at FD needs to go out and buy a dictionary.

And 'ToSoCo'. Frontier, his name is ToCoSo! He has made so much for your game that at this point you should get his name straight. Do you treat the basecode and game designing the same way you treat your newsletters? Empty and full of mistakes.

Oh look, another "newsletter" without any actual news in it.

Fdev, you really need to re-think and do a complete overhaul for your newsletter content.

You become numb to it after a while. So much so that you unsubscribe from the newsletter when it starts to feel like junk-type spam mail.

Few months ago i gave Fdev few suggestions what they could change and think over with their newsletter. So far my suggestions have not been adopted. Almost the same as with beta, if you are not with the loud majority, your suggestions wont be listened.

FDEV like to play little games with the playerbase
