startlingly cognisant statement, i am impressed with your candor and your wit
I think the main reason many have quit Elite is precisely because it IS done, and they have shown they aren't adding any of the things that many players want. Star Citizen is buggy, but it is promising. And shockingly fun even in its current state. Odyssey was the final nail in the coffin for me with Elite, FDev just don't know how to make a combined FPS / space ship game, at least not anywhere close to what I (and evidently many others) are looking for.
But ED isn't done. There is plenty to criticize FD about, and of course, if things are not being implemented in a way you enjoy, that's fair enough. And maybe you find stuff in SC to enjoy, again, fair enough.
But that wasn't my point. My point was specifically about those who are quitting ED because of bugs and performance... unless you want to claim SC is a stable experience with good performance?
You're deliberately missing the point again...that said, I'm off back to our other house, this 'house in the country' section of the forum is a bit tame for my liking

Ahem, i made a point without quoting anyone. Viking made a different point quoting mine, which wasn't my point. I noted that it wasn't my point. You say i'm missing the point.
No, i made a point, they made a different point in relation to my point. Both points might be valid points of view, but they are not connected.
Yeah, i could have worded it better. I was a drunk potato last night.
Rumour says a lot of things. What isn't rumour is that some folk trying out Star Citizen enjoy the experience...totally irrelevant of how you may continue to belittle that fact based on your personal tastes.Rumour has it that some are leaving ED because it has no VR for feet. Makes perfect sense to migrate to SC because of this.
Guess it's high time for David Braben to learn from Chris Roberts how to make ... promises!
ED is done in so far as every single expansion going away from what I was hoping they would do. Every expansion moving in the direction of more gear grind, less skill, larger performance gap between those who have and those who haven't spent hours grinding. So I suppose you could say I am done with Elite. I do think FDev are done with it too though, can't imagine them releasing any more expansions after messing up Odyssey so badly. Then again, No Man's Sky made a pretty epic comeback so who knows.
As for SC, it is actually a lot less buggy than I had feared, but yeah, you might suddenly die from walking down a set of stairs for no reason, so there are absolutely bugs there! And of course there will be at least one complete wipe, if not two, before launch, so I wouldn't sink thousands of hours into it. That said, every hour I spend there seems so much more immersive and exciting than what I experienced in Elite. I really really like the direction they are going, and even at this stage it is a lot of fun.
So basically what I said, except for the "done" part. FD is adding stuff. Whether you like what they are adding or not, well, that's personal taste.
