I nearly bought Jack-o'-lantern

So do you want it or not? If you want it, buy it. If you don't want it, why would you condition your buying it on Frontier releasing content? Frontier is not your dog or your child, you don't need to either punish or reward them. Your relation with them is supposed to be purely mercantile.

Wow your replies were so edgy you were about to say the exact same thing!

Believe it or not businesses don’t like having smoke perpetually blown up their bottoms because they don’t actually learn anything from it.

ISO9001; which FEDEV tries to conform to (I hope) includes complaints and feedback as part of their business model.

… for my second (non LEP) account.

I stopped with only a few letters to go on my password. Create some proper content FDEV and stop trying to suck us dry with cosmetics.

I am not sure this is sending the intended message. You may think it is an edgy call for content, but this is what marketing will read:"Despite releasing next to no content whatsoever for a prolonged period, a disgruntled customer who already got the LEP still came very close to buying an overprices frivolous virtual object for his second account."

The question on their mind is not 'oh dear, how can we appease this loyal customer?' but rather 'wow, is there anything we can at all do to stop him from checking the store?!'. They are in no rush, this is a confirmation they are on the right track and we'll be dumping all their cash in their lap when Next Era launches. Any penny they get from the Old Guard between then and now is bonus money. Pennies from Heaven. :)

I want it but I’m not going to promote the business model they have chosen.

I don’t get why people get so defensive over game developers. Assuming you have a car, when it turned out VW gamed fuel emission testing was your response to go and buy a diesel VW?

I don’t think it is edgy at all ?

You're right, it is quality feedback. It is quality feedback for Frontier who will know the OP makes their purchase decisions based on emotions rather than a sensible value for money assessment. If you decide not to buy a product you want just to punish the company who sells it regardless of the product's merits (which allegedly the OP though were strong enough to warrant them almost buying it), you are only one heart change away from blindly buying that company's products regardless of their merits.
And turning blind haters into blind fanboys isn't very hard these days: hire a PR firm, throw in some memes, jump on whatever bandwagon is trendy lately, and you can save yourself from having to actually develop a good product, people will buy your stuff because they want to be part of your tribe.

I find the ED cosmetics laughably bad on the whole....still managed to buy a few paints for my ships 🤷‍♂️

It's been a long time since FD got any money from me and it will remain that way until end of 2020 (big question mark there) or until they massively improve the quality of the cosmetics.

Lol, I doubt anyone from FDEV would get that worked up over it.

you don’t know anything about me or my life.

Get a grip, it’s only a computer game.
