10 Years of Elite Dangerous

[CatLady]

Perhaps after 10 years it is finally time for people to stop complaining the F...frog about everything - including every minuscule and insignificant matter - especially if they are playing a game that, everywhere, would be a monthly subscription cost, plus 40 paid DLCs ("Thargoid Invasion DLC", "Cojijo attacks Sol DLC", etc)

Seriously, it is way past being obnoxious at this point. I could swear people complain less if they are forced to pay for hobbies.

You don't have to swear. Psychology knows about this under the name endowment effect. If you own something, you value it higher than it's actually worth. So if you shell out a lot of money for your hobby, you are prone to value this hobby much more than anything else. With all the side effects of cognitive dissonance, of course. People like that often behave strange in social medias, when it e.g. comes to defending their hobbies. There is even a name for them, but we don't call it in here.

Perhaps after 10 years I should just admit to myself that Elite Dangerous isn’t the game I was looking for.

After 10 Years just arriving at Hutton Orbital just in time to see the Cassette version load. Frontier should get into full professional simulations since that's what the really seem to want to make.

I own my own consultancy company (security/CT/CM), drive for a national charity, do part time HGV hauling and have a family, its called time management.

Playing Elite Dangerous is a job we get paid to do.

I'm in the same boat as many here. I just checked and received my last newsletter years ago (without unsubscribing). @t-online.de should work, I guess? There never was anything in the Spam folder either.

T-Online has a very weird way of handling incoming e-mail. It might very well be they never accept mail from Frontier's servers as FDev might have to request to be whitelisted by T-Online staff. Having a @t-online.de-e-mail-address is considered bad style and unprofessional anyway. (It's a provider-address, i.e. you get it for free if you are a DSL/fiber-customer.)

From my experience as an admin on another site, I can confirm that T-online were a pain to deal with, ultimately meaning that users with those email addresses didn't hear from us as much as they expected (e.g. subscriptions to threads and other content).

Happy anniversary FDEV! Cheers to the next 10 Years! Any chance to still get that paint job? I missed out

ah ... missed it ....only by a month LOL (offline with real life) .
It was a "grab it while it's hot" thing so no drama. ( I'd quite like to have able to take advantage of the 'conda skin , just for smiles! )

More importantly, 10 years is a milestone and one to mark for sure. Congratulations on the achievement F-Dev.
The ED community is as energized as ever, and here's to 10 more years of growth and expansion of one the leading space sim products out there. Many have arrived to play, some have joined the ranks but ED remains one of the Main Events.

S!
