Dodging The Pram-Launched Toys

I can't think of any other industry where things are sold new as damaged goods, at full price, with the promise of being fixed later. And the customers thank them for it.

"Sorry sir, your £26,000 car doesn't have working brakes yet, come back in a month and we'll fix it right up for ya" / "Why thank you!"

"Sorry madam, the chips are still frozen. Just eat the fish now and we'll bring your chips right before dessert" / "Oh, it's to be expected and your very kind!"

"Now your house doesn't yet have a roof. yes, I know we said it WOULD have a roof, but they are quite hard to build so you'll have to make do with tarpaulin covers until Christmas" / "Oh, this will be FUN!"

etc

I just don't get it. I know it's been a bumpy launch, heck I couldn't get in until they hotfixed it, and as far as I know I still don't have my fleet carrier back...
but I've been playing it since yesterday, and its freaking amazing! I cranked the terrain all the way up, and wow what a difference. I climbed a mountain for a screenshot this morning, I found a planet that I think qualifies for "hooning" and I gave that a shot, boosting through a couple narrow canyons with hairpin turns. First footfall on a dozen worlds already, trying to do exobiology, getting up close and personal with a lava spout (feeling the heat too, suit warnings started going off)

There's things I wanted that I didn't get, maybe We'll never get. I'll keep asking for them when I'm not too busy playing. There's things that desperately need to be fixed, but mostly the things are so obvious that you know they'll be in a hotfix. To read the forums these past couple days you'd think Frontier came into someone's house and shot their dog. I just... don't get it.

I think we're better off reporting issues, getting support from the community to confirm and raise attention to the issues, and you know.. playing the damn game.

There was a minor car accident outside my house the other day. SUV backing into a parking spot pranged the car behind....3 hours later one was shouting 'There obviously wasn't enough room!' and the other replied 'Well obviously I thought there was'. I mean it is kind of obvious they thought there was enough room and didn't deliberately prang the car isn't it? But some people prefer to get angry than just wait for the insurance to fix it, like they never did something thinking it was OK and it turned out not to be.

I should ofc have video'd it and put it on YT, people like that kind of outrage these days so they can all get angry together over nothing.
