Great news that sales are strong, I really wanna share a ship with a friend in Elite. So I need them to continue developing.

300,000 copies sold is very good news indeed.
Two new reviews by Eurogamer Spain and PCGamesN. Both rated it a 7/10.

A bit like the Goonsquad, we're already here!(The similarity ends there though
Some of us are both .......
I guess that 300k players is the core that were pretty much onboard from the word go, even if they didn't back early doors. FD's mission will be to attract newer players, and to maintain sales when the press have forgotten about the game. It's much harder to do when there isn't a vibrant modding community helping out (which leads to further secondary level gaming site coverage). I'm sure they have a plan in place, the MAC version will only attract so much extra revenue.
Anyway, I digress, it's good that they are getting in more revenue than their best case test scenario, lets hope they can get some headline making updates down the road.

This game is destined to be sold to several million copies
I think that it is quite normal that the fortunes built on bugs are removed. The question should not even be asked. Nothing extraordinary and gratifying that Frontier has changed his mind about it. I repeat, this is quite normal
Completely agree that those fortunes should be removed.
Was only linking a media mention of ED, afterall that's the purpose of this thread.
And ED, first in the presentation
Very nice.
What he says about docking, i would say also about "supercruise". Nice words.

Total Biscuit cares about gameplay mechanics, so his in-depth review what's good and what's missing in ED would be awesome. I hope he gets better (not everyone gets a chance of early warning to beat cancer) and have time to do this.
It is worth watching the rest of the presentation too, wait until he gets to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Unity review as it really helps put things in perspective.
ED: IGN review
Not sure if this has been posted (I did look around):
