"insbesondere David Brabens ehemaliger Kollege und Elite-Koentwickler Ian Bell kritisierte auf Kickstarter die späte Ankündigung kostenpflichtiger, aber spielverändernder Inhalte als unprofessionell"

For those of you who cannot read German, translation is as follows:

"in particular, David Braben's former colleague and Elite's co-developer Ian Bell critisized [in Kickstarter comments] the delayed announcement of non-free, yet game-changing content, citing this move as 'unprofessional'".

The comment the article links to has since been deleted; looks like the gentlemen are trying to quell it, probably on both sides. Still, the fact remains.

Knowing Ian Bell, it is quite believable that it wasn't Elite's Ian Bell, and people in media using Twitter as always jumped to conclusions. There's some thing like verifying sources.

Knowing Ian Bell

You knew the Ian Bell from KS, or "the" Ian Bell ?

Knowing Ian Bell and especially his comments on David Braben, it is quite believable that it is indeed him.

Knowing Ian Bell and especially his comments on David Braben, it is quite believable that it is indeed him.

That being true it's still not proof they were one and the same.

However, it's completely irrelevant to your thread
