Probably Apple’s fault in some manner or other
I don't see anyone pretending that.
"It's not a Frontier problem" seemed to suggest that.
i'm not sure i've seen anyone claiming it was players fault for console cancelation development
that was regarding "i cannot afford a computer to play Odyssey" or "i dont want no damn PC to play Elite, since i like my couch play better"
they make no profit from someone that is playing the game (purchased 4-5 years ago) while still crapping on FD at every opportunity and making proud claims of never ever buying any cosmetics.
i know the saying that "there is no such thing as bad publicity" but sometimes there is and it's not helping
It was also very much about the small window of time.
yea, nothing to say about that and it cannot be sweetened no matter how we look at it.
Indefinitely was actually 2 months and plenty of time was only a single week of notification
Are you saying that because I’m was not rich enough to afford a PC, i deserve to be an ex customer?
I know me and many other console players spent a lot of money on ARX and the game in general, and again, not saying it was worth it to keep it around, but it should have been handled better.
A related reason to me leaving Elite Dangerous after they completely abandoned console players after making us wait a year with no news? Many console players missed that because again, our consoles don’t have easy to use internet access.
And presumably you dont monitor the email address behind your Console account - which again, it's not FDev's fault.
To reiterate - the email account tied to my XB account received the email notification regarding transfers on September 12th - on the day transfers started
you dont really need a PC if you have an XBox.
you can pay 10 euros per month for a premium Geforce Now account and enjoy Odyssey on your XBox, played in Edge browser... and you can drop the Live Gold subscription too - so basically no extra costs if Elite is the only multiplayer game you play on your XB
I’ve had this xbox account since like, 2005 it’s not even my email.
Either way, I’m not upset that Fromtier didn’t personally notify me. As someone said early, Indefinitely was two months and plenty of notice was one week.
Isn't the timing for having a kerfuffle a bit off? I mean Arthur "promised" on stream a month ago, and then again 2 weeks ago that he'd investigate and get back to us with updated information on the new transfer process. It must be anyday now..
Na march the 31st is still in Q1... so many weeks yet... live stream on the 23rd of march would still be able to be unsure of the releasing before that date...Isn't the timing for having a kerfuffle a bit off?

He didn't say Q1, he "promised" next week, he's now three weeks late on fulfilling..
But whatever, an answer on the new transfer process ought to be on the cards any day now.

They probably already didn't make a profit, otherwise they wouldn't have been 'abandoned'. That was the point.
Never said it was, I do think it was a great pity that FDEV found themselves unable to continue console development, having said that they did provide a way for console players to pull almost their entire account across to PC, from then on it was up to the players themselves to take advantage of it, or not as the case may be.
Out of context, nice!
It was clearly expressed in context that it wasn't FDEV's fault if the player decided not to take advantage of the transfer process, so it's not their problem to sort things out if a player didn't take advantage of that opportunity.
That was the assumption.
Of course if console users weren’t making Frontier money, I wonder why they chose to try to keep them by creating the legacy version of ED?
Well, i always said they should shut it down and use the resources for Live.
But i'm pretty sure there are quite a number of players that appreciate FDev for keeping Legacy running.
Ofc, to be able to appreciate the gesture, you need to actually play the game
Maybe Frontier are nice. Or they make just enough money to justify the costs of the legacy version. That wouldn't be rocket science.
Then let me add context (that you left out
)People take breaks from the game, not everybody logs in each and every day. The windows of time was way smaller than initially communicated and I really don't think it's fair to blame players who missed it.
Didn't the person in this case even write they checked about once a months if anything new was added to the game? Obviously a one week notice will not work out with that interval.
