First bad press coming starting to arrive!

The first bad pass is starting to show up. It's going to get a lot worse over the coming few weeks and I hope frontier pay for their lack of integrity here. Your customers don't work for you and we are not a free Q/A team.

I'm a developer and this sort of behavior is disgusting where development studios favor investors over customers. This product was not ready for launch, they knew it but launched it anyway for the financials and expected us to be free Q/A to work for free. You guys who are reporting bugs are working for free, most people get paid to do that, as that's a JOB. In summary they cyberpunk'd us. I'm all for forgiveness and moving forward but not without first repentance or an understanding of why what they did was wrong.

Love the final quote:
'Every game usually runs into bugs at launch, so I’m confident Frontier will work them out eventually — Elite Dangerous has been steadily getting updates and content for almost a full decade now. But if you were holding out for Odyssey, it might be prudent to hold out a little while longer. Space can wait.'

Back to Horizons for me!

Yeah, as if the devs wanted this to happen.
Spoiler: they didn't.

You're missing the entire point. They thought and still think they can get away with it. Of course they expected it would go a bit smoother because they wrongly calulated that the decent response to the alpha was setting the stage for a decent release, when in reality they didnt factor the very low standard people were viewing it through as a partial product test. They still think they will get through this with no major effects which is why the audience needs to hold them accountable on a moral level. This is not different than what cyberpunk did to their audience/investor relations.

Yeah, well, I kinda think they don't want that to happen either. Bad press isn't a good way to sell games in the long run especially when it's about games as a service that have an ongoing gameplay cycle.
Really, literally nobody wants issues and bugs on launch, so whatever went wrong, it went wrong for everyone for some reason and flaming Frontier doesn't help at all.
To be honest, looking at our world-wide virus problem I am willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and just wait patiently until things are fixed.

Games are very complex toys in the end. I don't like treating them as if they were a super serious thing, and I don't like stomping all over the toymakers in the process even if they got something wrong.

Got something wrong? They knew what state this was in and chose to release it. They deserve exactly what they are getting

I played the alpha & yesterday I had 2 hours to play around and I am very happy with Odyssey :). The immersion is going a big jump up and the feeling to explore a hole galaxy on foot, on ship and with the SRV lets me look happy into the future and I am curious what will come because they have so many options yet - alone the tutorial was relly cool.
