Hug For Bug made an important video: Elite Dangerous is in recession and must make a decision for the future:
- Status quo = add small additions from time to time and continue to watch from a distance, requires little resources, players will slowly leave the game.
- Pull the plug = no development team, no update, just maintenance with minimum personnel and capacity, leave the game to its own fate.
- Open source mods = make it open for modding, lots of developers are waiting for this, there's a creative community.
- Sell / small developer = the selling price would be huge so only large companies could afford it. Or make a deal with a small studio to develop the game with full control by Frontier.
- New Elite game = most expensive solution, the game engine is old and unable to meet today's standards, but Elite's brand value is huge and will meet expectations.
- New expansion = new ships, places, ship interiors and solid exploration elements would give lots of momentum, but after Odyssey Fdev may not be eager to do so.
