Until and unless the 60%+ of this game that is staring at the screen waiting/watching loading screens is replaced by actual interactive game play, this game doesn't have a future. And the real decision makers at fdev know this. Hence, a content delivery pipeline that moves like molasses flowing uphill in the snow, while the A team builds actual, profitable titles instead of wasting more time on a game where the community "manager" trolls forum posters.
So when did you come to this startling realisation. Was it during your first flight, or during your first 10 hours playing, or your first 100 hours playing, or your first 1,000 hours playing? Nothing you are complaining about has changed since the game was released, and you are just realising it now!
Oh and I don't want ya stuff, maybe you can donate it to someone needy
Whatever.
People said this game didn't have a future even before its release and it's going on 4 years now. NMS is still a "fad" in comparison, we'll see what it looks like in 3 years and all the complaints then. Scam Citizen is still a badly and barely playable alpha which has yet to see an actual release date.
Some have short memories and give little respect where its due, apparently.
Actually, your post simply reinforced what the OP was saying. The two other games you linked to have been out longer (by two years) and yet their numbers show no tapering off like Elite. They've remained quite consistent.
Not sure why certain folks want to debate this fact that the player base has dropped and will continue to as the game gets older and people move on. That is normal. Elite isn't some sort of magical game immune from normal dynamics. What it does suggest though is that Elite is certainly not an MMO, and it is not. It never was even though the marketing was trying to promote it as such. Elite's been an odd hybrid of single+multiplayer in a shared gamespace. It's had an identity crisis since day one and this continues. But players are dropping off and moving on.
Great post and very accurate - totally nails the issue of being dedicated, committed and focused to a franchise. One company is as shown in your graph; the other company is not as is the topic of this thread. None of the Elite defenders have really responded to this since there's really no way to reply to simple facts like this.
The graphs from both the Elite SteamDB all-time chart and the Elite Reddit traffic look very consistent to me [yesnod]
Not one part of this comment is actually true. Which is quite something, really.
when did providing actual data is trolling?
Brett just slap you down hard, get over it already and move on. An the fundamentals of ED isn't changing for you or anyone else, yes that mean a substantial portion of play in the game is traveling from location to another. That traveling already been hugely decrease.
An I still think my best time in this game was in a sidewinder trying to figure out how to make to Sol, back in the day where the route planner was barely a route planer and you had to use some thought to get there. No 1000 star plus route planner back then.

I was referring to his community "management" earlier in this thread. Rather sad, to see it come to comments like his. But then, i when you work for a company whose only accomplishments are breaking promises and failure to deliver, i guess it does take a toll.
Did it sting?
Please show us on the doll where the nasty Community Manager trolled you

Not quite true, the poster surely got his own name right didn't he?
Better Lucky than good!
Ok, So Brett replied to some misinformed inaccuracies in a lighthearted humourous manner (for him this is exceptional his sense of humour is usually terrible
) and you call him out as being a troll?To be honest to come to a game forum where you openly dislike the game and the devs seems quite trollish to me.
Honestly, if you don't like the game or the direction it's going that's fine and you're entitled to your opinion and as long as it's constructive in it's feedback that's A ok.
I genuinely don't understand when people who don't like something feel the need to bleat on and on about how much they hate everything associated with it.
Move on, it's a great big world out there.
