Deception is a strong claim.

Speaking as someone who started gaming on an Atari 2600, I'll always have love for consoles. I own ED on PS4 as well as PC, so I share in the disappointment. But it's my opinion that FDev got over its skis with Odyssey, and has been catching up ever since.

My $0.02 .... they should have taken the SRV mechanic and modified it to space suits to give everyone a walking around experience. Then, they could have rolled out progressive updates, steadily improving the look of planets, addining doors and interiors to existing structures, etc. But what the hell do I know.

OP has a right to be upset, but I disagree that this was deception. It was just a badly orchestrated major update to the game, which is still being digested 10 updates later.

Good luck wherever you go, but I'm not buying the Star Citizen hype. I'll check that game out when it is completed....that's been going on 10 years now, after they have sucked a #### load of cash from their backers. I think my out of pocket for Elite is something like $100, and I have played it 20x more than all my other favorite games combined.

I wish I got a refund for Dragon Age, but that ship has sailed.

If that's the case, how come Frontier, the games developers, were only able to figure that out now?

People have suggested this in the past, and they were often ridiculed for their lack of faith in Frontier's goals (or just the usual DOOOOM posting).

I'm not defending FDev though. I think the decision to put ED on console was misguided at best, and it's more that they seem to have spent the last year in denial that the new Cobra tech was going to successfully port to 2013 consoles, than some sudden epiphany that it's not possible.

People who mocked console players for having this concern can speak for themselves, I wasn't one of them.

Again, I was referring to Star Citizen, which the OP said he was running to... I tried that route and am poorer for it.

...in an Elite Dangerous forum?

I wouldn't be surprised if they still get it to consoles eventually - but at least this way, people will stop bugging them with "are we there yet" questions when they can clearly see that we're not there yet...

I know how you feel OP. I demanded a full refund for all those games I bought, loved and played on the Amiga that didn't get expansions and sequels once the developers started abandoning the platform in the mid-90s.

What about the bbc micro, the original elite system.

I demand a full refund for my console game version. You all clearly deceived the console player base. I will also be recommending a full boycott of all Frontier games to every community I am a part of and to every ayer I know. This is beyond ridiculous. I hope one of these players finds a way to shut you down. Star Citizen here I come.

How long have you been playing the game?

0/5 Bazmesons.

Not even trying.

If you pay to watch a Ben Stiller movie, do you come out and ask for a refund?

More accurately, would the company just laugh in your face?

If you're not sure, the answer is "yes, sir". Followed by "you're making a scene..."

"After months of promises"...?

I'd say that this has run it's course.
