You obviously own a copy of Horizons, so are you OK with that or do you have some complaint? Did you somehow buy a copy of Odyssey for a console?For the information of Cmdrs who live in the UK (and possibly the EU by referred law):

Console Update
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
It wouldn't be any cost to them to do so.
Since it's really just a digital key, nothing else but a bit of manpower involved.
No physical copy to be shipped - No cost involved
Arx? Just a digital number. No cost involved
Assets? More of the same
If you'd do a database extract/import, then you'd be looking at some costs as you need someone to do it.
Then again, a witty database expert could do that with a script, no doubt, facilitating further migrations.
I don't own a console either, yet I still feel sorry for the console folks to be presented with the terrible news.
Dude, what is wrong with you?
Sorry, what is it you think that act says with respect to console owners and EDO?For the information of Cmdrs who live in the UK (and possibly the EU by referred law):

On a side note, we aren't in the EU any more (sadly)
Bottom Hat posted this link earlier with regard to transfers...

IMO Frontier should change this policy in order to help console owners who want to move to PC. Although as I am not a game/software developer (a rarity amongst forum posters) I haven't got a clue how easy or difficult this is.
Don't you know, console gamers actually don't have PCs. They are still waiting to discover e-mail.
Perhaps no one still there can really handle Cobra anymore.
Maybe ED is a constant resource drain with respect to the F1 thing et cetera.
Maybe FD just wants this thing to end so they can move on.
I can't deny it, it is amusing to watch previous apologists turn against FD.

A bit doomy, but if CMs start getting reassigned to other IPs, well, what can you say.
You would be better off asking them. All I know is that if anyone wants to move their account, now is the time shout out.
I would say that was premature, you wouldn't want your account moved using the existing method before they have had a chance to develop and install a better method.
I still think they should have held off this announcement until such a method was in place, but I realise the forumites seem to want to know what is happening inside FDev at least as fast as FDevs employees do.
Frontier as a console player I really appreciate the game you have created there is nothing else like Elite on consoles - I am a dedicated player with 1,O00's of hours invested - it's by far my favorite game - we would really appreciate a way for our console accounts for be transfered to PC - I would be willing and ready to purchase Odyssey on PC
What I meant was, get shouting about it. Put pressure on Frontier to move as much as possible across.
Maybe make a dedicated thread for this. That way all the like minded console owners should post in the one place (In my ******* dreams
)
A totally spurious reply which understands nothing about the current state of FD's strategic management disaster.
I'm typing on a computer. I've had the PC version of ED plus H since the releases and I went and replayed the game on PS4 after 6000+ hours on the PC. I still play games on the PC but I'm not of a mind to start up my PC Cmdr again just to please FD's accountants (who obviously can't do their job properly at all).
How about you showing some respect for console only players instead of judging them? Abjectly pathetic....
4,000 hours in on console. Elite has been with me on various platforms since a kid. If I have to go back to PC to continue to play the game I love, I will BUT please can we have a full transfer. At least grant us that opportunity and take away the hollow feeling.
Well, for those who I will leave behind, I'm sorry, but I have made up my mind. It's time to start saving money for a pc. Frontier, if you can make something happen for my ps save to end up a pc account, I'm all in.

Feel Free to Share some Old Stories then.

Well Mate. If so many Games did this. Then give us some Examples.
Which Games have Abandoned a Major Part of their Playerbase by Closing their Servers, Wiping their Progess or Shut down Development for Console/OS with a Major Part of its Playerbase. And despite that Continued to be Alive and being Developed Actively to the Point of being Finished and Delivering the Promised Features and Upgrades?
3.
Well Mate. Thing is. PC might soon not warrant Continued Development either.
Thats the Point you know.

Being Last Gen Consoles is frankly Irrelevant.
Playstation and Xbox tend to be Reverse Compatible. Which means the Code can be Adapted pretty readily.
And it would be fairly easy to just Release Future Versions like Odyssey for the Next Generation of the Respective Consoles.
Thus allowing Players to move on with these Games.
So that Argument is a NonStarter.
5.
Roots are Irrelevant to be Honest.
Sequels to Great Games can be Trash. And Entirely New Games can be Fantastic.
Especially if they are so far apart that the Dev Team is a Completely Different one to begin with.
Fallacy and a bit of an Out of Context Quote to be Honest.
My Post had a Bigger Explanation for a Reason.
Team Fortress 2 Halted Development. AFTER it was Finished and Fulfilled all its Promised Features.
There is no Advertisement for Team Fortress 2 Showing some sort of Future Developments to Sell the Game while Development was Stopped.
This is not the same for Elite Dangerous.
Elite Dangerous for Consoles has Halted Development while being Unfinished and not having Fulfilled the vast Majority of the Promised Features.
Worse. These Promised Features are still being Advertised for Elite Dangerous all over the Internet. Selling the Game despite it not even being Developed anymore for Console.
Pls. For a Proper Discussion. I would Ask you to Quote the Full Post. And not just Answer an Out of Context Passage of the Post.
