Farewell Drew

This really is the last straw for me! You close Drew's thread after just 50 posts? Does the truth hurt? The game is lifeless and lacking imagination...

Happy trails Drew, feel the same as you, it's not the game I signed up for.

I'm surprised that Drew has declared his intention to move on to other things, which is completely understandable given he has other projects to work on, but for me Drew is one person I saw as the core support for Elite Dangerous and to see him say he is moving, is a sad day for the community.

As for the moderators closing Drew's thread, I'm sure they have their reasons, but I ask them to re-open it so others can say farewell to Drew in the proper thread.

I concur they short changed a great backer and a talented author. Shame on you ED..... GRRRRRRRRRRR.

They (I assume you are referring to Frontier) have not short changed anyone, and let's not turn this into another "Frontier Bashing" thread

I was a little surprised to see it closed so suddenly also......I went to the link and wished him well on his blog site.

Frontier declined his help in creating something that had depth to it..... that is short changing in my book... declining to prosper when that help is freely offered.

No I am not bashing anyone... I am merely expressing my constitutional right to express my disappointment.

If it's a British game wouldn't that be ah ... uhm ... magna cartarial right to express your disappointment? ??

The reason the first thread was closed is that Drew said himself he's departed it. There's no point in keeping it open. It would undoubtedly become a place to vent on Frontier in the guise of wishing him farewell.

I happen to like Drew a lot. I read his book. I've communicated with him via PM. That said, he's not going to get special treatment in what amounts to an 'I quit' thread.

If people want to talk to Drew then by all means send him a PM or contact him on his blog. If people want to discuss the game itself there are myriad other threads around to engage in.

Thank you.
