Except a LOT of those sales would be at, or even below, the sale prices of $14-$19.99.
And let's be honest: without the injection of cash from Tencent last year, Frontier would have been in the negative, as per their own financial disclosure.
That's not "fine" or a good place to be, especially with no big, ongoing revenue source.
I hope they pull through, refocus and make Elite the game we know it COULD be. I just refuse to get my Hopes up.

Also, while some 11 thousand players are heading across the galaxy, little do they know...
THE GAME IS DOOMED!

That is not how it is to be read if I understand correctly. You would need to look at previous years statement as well? as I see it.
Especially since they state that they continue to perform well.
That said you do not need GTA V numbers to be successful, just because a game doesn't sell like call of duty and the like does not mean it isn't doing great, all depends on a ton of factors, if a dev has profit from a game after everything is paid then they are doing well, and then it just comes down to 'how much' profit.

Surprised no one has rolled up to the thread arguing that 13k active players against 3 million sales is bad.
There are twice that many active in Mobius alone.

Please show me where Fdev promised atmo this year. If I'm wrong, great, we get a cool DLC.
But they never promised, or even mentioned, any specific content. This is the make believe Ten Year Plan all over again.
Will be interesting to see what they do about selling the base game and Horizons when the DLC arrives. Will the many base game owners who perhaps haven't played the game for a long while be prepared to upgrade to Horizons and then pay for the the DLC, even if Horizons is only £5? Might they roll the two together and give all base game owners a free upgrade to Horizons? It would probably make the DLC more tempting and sell more copies whilst keeping players from being scattered about on 3 different versions of the game.
You're the one who has been saying quite assertively that it cant/won't be done for many months, so I'm just saying I'm sure you'll admit you were wrong if it happens.
Yep, and for the massive Pay2Win cost of £4.79 (on HumbleBundle sale) bundled with new content and features. It's a travesty.
Concurrent Steam players != active players.

Three million of base game is honorable.
I’m surprised that "Horizons" doesn’t do more.

3mill base game and 1.3mill horizons owners.
At this point Horizons gates a good deal of stuff. So I wonder, how many of the remaining 1.7mill base game owners are inactives.
Or are there just that many holdouts?

That's because no one is such an idiot that he would confuse concurrent players with active players.
Probably a lot. That's the nature of games. There are 40 games in my steam library, I am inactive in 39 of them.
