I'm having a problem getting motivated

[GunnerBill]

Hello Commanders,
I play Elite on PS4 and after the recent console news I had planned on making a bucket list before the game goes permanently dark.
The problem is I just can't get motivated to really even want to play. Why? Maybe because now I know that Fdev doesn't give a fig about console players.
Maybe because the game eventually will go dark because the player base is practically nothing.
Maybe because even if I do something like discover a new Nebula it won't matter b/c consoles days are numbered and Fdev probably won't credit our discoveries in PC land.
Maybe I just don't want to put time into a game that has told some of it's players that they don't matter.
I'm pretty sure I'll get some grief about this post, or a nice egg in these trying times but I just needed to get this out there.

Maybe these words will help you, and of course, they're a bit sci-fi now too!

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Have you tried one of those blue pills ? Works pretty good for my granddad.

Red and blue pills are the same, except for the red one is strawberry flavored

Don't forget to 'leave forever' and then come back. I spy with my little eye one person in this thread who did that. But, I'm not The Keeper of the List(TM).

Your turn will come...

Oh, I've already said if I go, it'll be in a hypocritical blaze of glory. I'm going to pen a self-indulgent "Farewell Forever" letter with as much delusional melodrama as possible.

Then, I'm going to do the whole 'ex who won't go away' thing and hang out on the forums and gripe about Odyssey and why I left.

Then, after an appropriate amount of time, I'll start playing again. Get that pen ready, @xzanfr !!!
