I still feel like in SOME cases, the instant gratification bug has impacted what people think should be in the game. Having said that, the one big reason above all others I would like to see frontier keep it is this:
David Braben - To him, this is more than just a game that is(/is not) producing numbers. While not everything he envisions has come to be (and honestly a few things just can't), this game is a dream to him. I feel that as long as his hand is in it, and there's anyway possible, the game will eventually find its way to a semblance of the original concept. You remove him, and anyone else that might feel similarly within fdev, and its just numbers. The last thing I would want for this game is to see it die out half finished. If it moves, its just numbers.
I've said this before and I will say it again. I think that a lot of what we have been wishing, dreaming, and crying about in this game that hasn't come to fruition despite promises and dreams, will start to show up over the next few years. The foundation for the east wing so to speak is finally done with Odyssey. If the game is allowed to follow this path I think we will finally be seeing things we have been promised for so long. We've all waited (though not all that patiently lol) for what's coming. There's no way, if I had a choice, I would hand it over to a new guy with his own vision that may or may not have anything remotely related what the original hope for this game was, much less hand it to someone who only saw numbers and didn't have skin in the game.

How do you know that though? I was there when elite dropped quality enough that it became really apparent that David Braben no longer played elite himself. Elite changed qualitatively in what was being delivered every patch.... it was overall better than it is now believe it or not. Oh i guess many people who joined later never experienced this..

For a good period there.. you had to wrestle with the idea that if you had the luxury of commanding 100 people to make your dream for you, were excited af and went home every night to play your dream, you'd send it back like undercooked food at a restaurant, if only because you had the priviledge of doing so. Headline features were turning up substandard all of a sudden. Instead, it became clear that elite was more like a small business running with the owner not at the store anymore.

Yeah if all you experienced was mode b, fair enough. But frontier have done better themselves with elite..

Well, looking at the global stock prices taking a nose dive, provided they keep on chundering as they are, I could probably make a hostile takeover bid with next week's dole money...
