General / Off-Topic Frontier Revenue Increases to £36m

[Silaz]

It's good to see FD concentrating their earnings on production rather than making pure profit to only feed the shareholders.

Can I just safely assume you have literally no experience in the software development field and leave it at that?

That would be a really stupid 'assumption' on your part. 30+ years doing embedded software. And I have seen the scenario I described so many times.

Your point?

Interesting.

I'm wondering what this Hollywood movie franchise game will be....any ideas?

I'm just going to go ahead an assume that you don't have any experience, it's easier than trying to digest the fact that you have 30+ years yet believe a tertiary revenue stream will somehow affect current product delivery; despite the fact that Frontier's secondary revenue stream had literally no impact on Elite: Dangerous in the slightest and actually earned them more money than they had.

I'm glad about this and it shows that pay to win isn't the only model for us coders to make money on

Agreed!

...anyway 'can't hang about right now, gotta load up my second account & get my extra pip for some PvP with some non-Horizon owning players with no engineer access.

Guardians of the Galaxy.
You get a space ship.
And an entire galaxy to fly around in.
You can hire NPC crew, or player crew.
You can be a miner, a pirate, a police officer, a trader or a smuggler.

It's a totally unique game. Never done before. :>

I'm incredibly happy for FD that business is going well, they're making my all time favourite game, I want them do do good in business.
A financially strong company ensures the longevity of ED, win win, FD makes a good profit (Aaaargh, yes that's what companies do) and I have my best game.

Carry on FD, carry on!!

Assume what you want. Believe what you want. It doesn't change anything.

I highly doubt star wars, or star trek.

Then again, i dint recall reading it'll be a space based game anyway.

Maybe a Jurassic Park game?

Or something completely different again. I dunno..

I was asking Walter from Scotland whether he had any info..he replied...

"Only a few people know, but Walt Disney"

Ouuucchhhh!

No wonder Frontier does well, considering all the paint jobs and other stuff I have bought in their shop.

 

[Patrick_68000]

Excellent news. And the turnover will increase again when they announce "the secret" of the version 2.4

But Elite is dead... its said everywhere. The servers are all empty... but maybe my name plate purchase made all the difference...

Well, jokes aside... good job Frontier! Looking forward to continue the journey.
