He was abusive towards them, not "negative". They politely said no thanks when he asked for a freebie, a freebie that he didn't need, just like OA and others who had bought it themselves.
The only thing a Mod doesn't do is moderate in a thread they are posting in except in exceptional circumstances. As far as I read in the discussion, posters were being made aware of the rules.
Lol what ? He was refused the key. Fdev said he was not doing "constructive feedback" or something. OA and other had one for free, which is standard in the industry BTW.
FD did not even try to leverage what they had to make the FPS more Elite like which makes me saddest of all.
Bally well said old bean, what what
from me for a well worded and concise answer.The impression was that his presentation style and use of profanities (among other theatrical devices) were the principal reason why Frontier might not wish to be interpreted as being supportive of.
Well, as one of his viewers bought the key for him, he probably feels obliged to give £40 (or local equivalent) of value back...
Its just so frustrating when those mechanics already exist in the game.
He can't share it but his opinions are better informed than ours as a consecuence of his experience.
ya..soooo...you think less people playing a MP game with cash shop, and DLC for sale is "good?" Hopefully you arent this out of touch with reality. If you enjoy the game, more players, means more money for Development of said game. smh. I could go on...but why?
The vast majority of ED players are grown adults...
And the base game has PEGI 7 rating (although Odyssey is PEGI 16) which I assume you already know.

It may also be, that despite the 'image' and ranting, that he really likes ED
Adult yes. Grown, well I can only speak for myself, but that's debatable. I was told more than once to be more "mature". I googled that, but I ended up even more confused about what people meant.
Sadly, the vision that players have for what the game might be, is not the vision that Frontier has for their game, it will be whatever they decide - for good or bad.The thing about Yamiks is (and this applies to me as well and almost every malcontent long time player, including the OP), he loves the game. Everything he says is from a position of wanting it to be better than it is - because it can be. Because we were sold on the vision, and of what E: D ought to be considering its setting. Everything about that says it should be the 'forever game'.
So when it falls short, as it so often has (not just with Odyssey, although that's brought everything into sharper focus), it's not being "negative". It's not even meant to be antagonistic, and certainly not nasty. I'm personally done with offering free suggestions for Frontier's hubris to ignore, nor do I file bug reports or do the work for them. They are (or were) a billion $ company, they can afford to pay people to do that kind of work.
But I still love Elite. As does Yamiks. He speaks for the Disappointed That Still Care.
If you trust his judgement. I don't know him well enough, so to me personally he really is "just another player".
I 100% get where you're coming from. And I agree to a certain point, but there's never going to be a "forever game". Elite Dangerous was/is always going to be something that would last for a while, then start getting things bolted to it, upgraded here and there, things replaced when bits fell off, that sort of thing. The issue gets compounded when you have a passionate community that revolves around it, all claiming that certain features and content was "vital" when in reality meant that it was vital to them. Inevitably not every one of those can be included, and in an effort to please as many as possible, the ones that do get included are often bodge jobs and not what people wanted/expected.The thing about Yamiks is (and this applies to me as well and almost every malcontent long time player, including the OP), he loves the game.
