It is obvious that all that mess is made to force ppl to buy DLC they don't want. Which obviously will fail, cause if ppl don't want to buy something - they just wont, and FDev can do nothing about it. And if somebody has doubt about purpose of that mess - well, we see that even white knights don't deny it, they openly support it instead.
It is pathetic, when you read some content - including some written by CMs. Like "making courtesy" by providing H4. PPL already paid for Horizons (with some exceptions like Epic giveaway), so fixing/patching/updating it is no courtesy.
It is attempted to claim that H4 is something entirely separate. Problem is that this contradicts FDev's own narrative. They claim that they cannot do common instancing because of PEGI. But if H4 is something separate - then it also should have separate PEGI rating. They should first make that very separate H4 with proper content (including common instancing), and then apply for PEGI. Now, they claim that it has PEGI 7 (don't really see a point if you check EULA) because it is..... Horizons. Same Horizons that we already paid for.
Someone above claims that Horizon players want to play that crappy DLC for free. I will only talk for myself now - I know I don't. I don't want space instancing for free - cause I've already paid for the space part, it is called Elite: Dangerous. I also don't want to play that crappy non-space FPS for free - FDev would have to actually pay me to even consider to touch that crap, so no, that certainly wont happen for free.
And FDev statement that they wont discuss that matter is just immature - they behave like if without them talking about the issue, it will go away by itself. Well, the life doesn't work like that - problems don't evaporate just because they are not talked about.
Not to mention that video games market is very competitive, diverse, and in present times of struggling economy, ppl will first cut entertainment expenses.
If FDev was wise, they would just leave the matter of failed Oddsheet launch behind, and started doing some decent spacesim DLC to sell. Instead - they do all they can to alienate their customer base (an attempt to force or blackmail ppl to do something they don't want to tends to have that effect). And those customers, after such behavior was shown, may be very reluctant to spend any money on any future DLC - even if its quality will be better than Ody (which is not a feat BTW).
Such behaviour also additionally discourages ppl from buying Ody - cause what guarantee those ppl have, that they will be treated better after paying for EDO, than they are treated after they paid for EDH, where it is claimed that update is a "courtesy"?
Summarising - that all mes is just another misstep by FDev, a worthy sequel to the EDO launch, that was so succesfull, that even Braben himself had to write an apology. It seems, that some ppl are incapable of learning from their own mistakes.

. So, if your friends just want it for free, it's not Frontier that's trying to cheat them...
