They can always return the game if not satisfied, I think there's a 2 hour window.
Is the LHS meet & greet with doughnuts, or rails?

Too all those saying that steam was a negative with regards to hosting this game on it. I said it was a good idea and will generate many many more sales. Those that think steam is bad are still living in the dark ages of digital downloads and gaming. Steam is a very powerful medium and is used by many hardcore veteran gamers all over. There is no better platform to launch a game on.

I very much do enjoy using Steam myself, especially because of all the work they've done for the Linux gaming/computing community of which I am also a part of.

However, when it comes to FD and Elite, Steam customers in general seem to be somewhat "second class citizens" of the Elite community. For example, not all of the features of a Lifetime Expansion Pass are available through the Steam launcher. That being the case, I can fully understand why a lot of people might not want to use Steam for Elite.

I'm not sure about sales figures. I think it's a testament to the success of the advertising more than anything.
The most accurate measurement of the quality of a game that I've found is Metacritic's user reviews:

Yeah I agree, Steam is fantastic and all for marketing but more people does not necessarily mean more people in-game as others have said :) It also doesn't always attract the type of people Elite may want to attract...

I've found metacritic to be one of the worst imho with numerous people inflating/reducing games scores with multiple accounts. My personal view is to read reviews and all that but then spend at least 1-2 hours just watching gameplay vids.
Last thing I do before buying is google "Game name here + bugs" and see what the worst thing(s) currently going off are and if I could deal with them :p

Yeah I know what you mean, but I still think Metacritic's pretty reliable. Basically it's all just about the place with the most reviews - the more people that submit reviews, the more accurate the rating becomes.

I recently moved country and didn't bring a joystick with me, so have been flying a bit with keyboard and mouse. Most things were ok, but landing in stations... pheew... like an idiot I thought I might be able to do it without using vertical thrusters (I was too lazy to find the key) and no way could I land that thing.

I still can't figure out how to get the 'invert axis' working for pitch. Ship always points down when the mouse goes down.

I used the four arrow keys when I was on M & KB for thruster forwards, backwards left and right. Then I used PAGE UP for up and PAGE DOWN for down. Works a treat.
