OK, I've calmed down a little. I have been playing since the December after XBox release - 2015. In that time I have invested thousands of hours of gameplay, the paid update of Horizons, published several documents regarding the evolving storyline, which in itself took thousands of hours, bought things from the store, achieved triple Elite, explored, traded, fought, and generally had a great time. When the Odyssey release was on its way, I waited patiently for it. I have achieved pretty much all I want to achieve in Horizons, and was looking forward to upgrading the game and investing further in Frontier's product. I have not made mention of the friends made within the various player groups I have been privileged to be a part of, and occasionally lead.
The announcement that Odyssey is now not coming to console, and that future development for console is cancelled leaves me (and thousands of others) with a big problem. We have invested in the product, and would continue to do so IF we were given an opportunity to continue our journey. Here's the rub... In order to continue investing, we need a method to do so. After 7 years, I can't start again - I need all of my progress transferring to PC. I have no problems buying a system capable of running the game both now and in the future, and no problems re-purchasing the game, particularly since I was going to buy Odyssey anyway. What I can't do and won't do is start from the beginning.
I have sold everything which is unnecessary - parked in Shinrarta with only two ships, a vault of modified modules, and billions in the bank. The assets are easy enough to move. The codex and all of the progress I have made is what I'm more interested in. Ranks, achievements, the virtual embodiment of 7 years of investment. That's what I want to keep. I think that goes for most console players too.
Its a straight forward business transaction - provide full commander transfer to PC, or lose thousands of customers and all of your reputation. Your share price is plummeting - I wouldn't invest in a company which will happily dump 1/3 of its customers without some kind of assistance programme. You are now into damage limitation. So limit the damage you have caused.
I am aware that you have said it is being discussed, but why was it not discussed prior to the announcement? Are you really so naive that you didn't see this question coming?
