I told David I respect him for his comment if you read back and no I won't flame. But im done. It was a good run but time for me to move on.
Console Update
- Thread starter David Braben
- Start date
Until the code base is merged into Odyssey.
@David Braben This is a very, very sad day for Elite Dangerous.
I am a PC player, but I think at the very least, you should ensure that the Devs work a mechanism to bring EVERYTHING console CMDRs own, INTACT from console to a PC license, should they want to migrate.
With the greatest of respect, I think you owe them that much. Thanks for making this statement from your account.

If they had made this announcement with the offer of a “full” save transfer and a discounted or even free Horizons license they could have kept a fair few players.
One last question
WHICH SECOND CODE YOU ARE TALKING? The game was a 1 to 1 port but yeah who cares now.

That worked so well for the macOS version.
So there really isn't any point in continuing playing if only critical updates are being applied to the console version.
Not the news I wanted to hear after remaining so hopeful but also not really surprised either seeing the various problems from Odyssey launch.
Thanks to all of you who helped me with the game in BGS and just simply finding my landing pad with the compass.

Odyssey and Horizons
Likely they don't want to tread the same path that has concluded thusly.
Its a disappointing if some what predictable end to the console game.
I assume given the game is effectively dead Frontier will stop selling Arcs and other micro transactions to players and offer a full account transfer option and not just a credit transfer to PC if players so desire.
The big difference is that macs were constantly being updated, whereas consoles remain backwards-compatible.
Still, I was one of those who was certain a console version was coming eventually, so what do I know?
They are still not merged on PC... Horizons/Odyssey divide has to be solved as 1st priority before releasing any new content!!!
Horizons and Odyssey, you do realise the PC codebases will merge right?
The Mac version was stuck on the base game for over two years before being dropped, so not too bad I'd say.
Damn, just realized that my new Hotas arrives tomorrow, ok sending it back I guess. Frontier, thank you for the good times, and thank you for finally showing the lack of backbone. You could have said this a lot sooner. May you and your family have a healthy future.
He spoke about the consoles as an second source, but it’s the normal way to decline everything.
Honestly I would have hoped you would have all the info at the ready for transfers etc to make delivering the bad news a little bit more palatable. You know it's gonna go down like a lead balloon.
FDev communication skills are utterly useless. You literally have no clue what to do with your own product and it's a bloody shame.

This is not good news. How about console players, which plays mainly on consoles? What about cross-play?
Odyssey don't need to be cancelled on consoles. How console squadrons will be able to defence their factions from those, which will be able to raid their settlements and drop their influence by that? What about the updates, which still we, consoles, still don't have it like scorpio SRV or some of QoL?
I repeat: Odyssey don't need to be cancelled.

Yes it had plenty of time to wither on the vine.
