fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me

In most other games I've played, each DLC, that you have to pay for, is self contained and doesn't rely on other DLC's to work. That means you buy only the content you want.
I remember a time when a DLC was called add-on and was totally free.
 
The stuff FD didn't show:

"I shall rise up on the backs of my prostrated slaves..."
 
The downside is that the next DLC after Odyssey is going to require Odyssey, just as Odyssey rquires Horizons. That means, even if you don't want Odyssey's content, you'll still have to buy it if you want what comes after it. Sadly, that means FD can make a DLC that is a total piece of garbage, but you'd still have to buy it once the next one comes out.

Pretty sure Horizons gets moved into the main game (so those that never purchased it will have it once EDO comes out). Isn't that why I recieved the Azure paintjob for all my ships?

So you only have to buy Odyssey, not Horizons as well if you don't already own it.
 
I remember when DLC was called an expansion pack and came in a box on floppy disks that you paid for 😁

(I think the first ones I bought were for X-Wing)

Free DLC was fan-made Doom levels that came on the front covers of magazines 😁

Edit: in fact, I think the first ever expansion I bought was for Laser Squad 😱

I don't mind the fade to black, but the transition could have been at the top of the boarding ramp of lift. When getting to a new planet for first foot fall it would be much better to step out on to the planet than just appear. Shame!
Yeah. I get why, if there's no associated gameplay then fitting out all the ship interiors could be a lot of effort but teleporting outside is a bit of a disappointment.

Whats crazy is that I had an Apex taxi service in my home town. I can't wait to ring them up:

"Hi, I'd like to book a taxi please"

"Where to, sir?"

"Europa please"

"Er where?"

"Near Jupiter, just on the left"

I wonder if you can argue with the driver over which is the fastest route.
 
I remember when you got your games from a magazine and typed each line of code in yourself, none of this fancy floppy disk nonsense. :)
I still have a book called 'Adventures! Three text adventures for the MSX computer". Really cool pictures and background stories, and each game was more complex than the last. The final one had you pick up items, dodge a gorilla by giving a banana and thwarting an evil wizard who had turned half the people in the land into worms, and the other half into birds.
