I voted with my wallet and didn't buy Odyssey on PC as feared something like this would happen. I will reconsider if I can transfer my account.
Console Update
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
I am deeply disappointed. I bet you will also say: "sorry there is no transfer either, only credits..." looks like my story ends now 
o7 to the console cmdr's.
Sad news, but working on and supporting two codebases of a single product must be hell for a dev team.
Hopefully, we will see faster and better quality development on the PC version.
In the end, Its better to have a great game for a single platform, than mediocre and slowly developing one on a few platforms...
PS: Better transfer options will be a must-have IMHO. There are a lot of console players with years of experience out there in the black.

Whelp, that was the nail in the coffin for me and many of my friends. Sad to hear that two entire platforms are getting abandoned.
Understandable as I doubt it'll be an easy thing to do, anything that could be done would be very much appreciated...
Farewell my friends it was an honor will delete elite today.
Inconceivable!
Oh boy, thats half the player base gone. How is frontier going to fare with only half of the original base, crazy
Odyssey was the kryptonite for Elite... well done, R.I.P.
It was pretty clear tbh, old gen cannot run this kind of game. Nevertheless really sad.
...DOUBLE POST... sorry.

I'm sure many console players have vast game assets and materials with hundreds if not thousands of hours invested in the game.
With no means of transferring these assets from those player consoles to PC, they not only lost their investment in the cost of the game, they lost the hours invested, the tags gained, and all ARX purchases.
I think it would be very generous of Frontier to offer some bit of compensation for those so affected, to include a complementary copy of the game for PC, as well as any ARX assets associated with the console account.
Although I don't own a console, I would be extremely upset having lost both the monetary cost, as well as the personal investment in game time.

On the plus side, at least this confirms there is a plan & a future vision for the game going forward. That is a real positive, & even whilst I understand this is a kick in the teeth for console only players, at least the game as is will be supported - I know that won't be enough for everyone, but for some.
I don't know what I would do if the game were switched off - there's literally nothing else that scratches my gaming and de-stressing itch.
