Greetings,
Long ago when Bell and Braben were college students at Cambridge came up with the math for Elite, later when Braben moving forward with the game I was there. Telling my age. I have a website I still pay for if anyone wants to know the history. Many others who created websites are still around per their historical versions and love of the game.
Back then getting a game produced for world wide sale probably cost a lot less. Trivia also added to the backstory which made the players even more connected. Love a current TV show or movie! Trivia adds enjoyment connecting a viewer to their entertainment.
Where is the trivia for Elite Dangerous? Maybe it now costs 50 million and 300 programmers to develop a game in a highly competitive market so trivia might give Frontier's competition an advantage.
Still here is my trivia page from many years past. It is interesting how trivial from the past moments are part of ED. Even with Elite Dangerous I think that Braben gave all these programmers a list of being true to the Elite games. You decide...
