Translation: There will always be honest people telling the truth about the game, But im still gonna stay in my sinking ship.
Game is out for 2 weeks and you call it a sinking ship...
Not really, but have it your way.
Link as many click-bait from unknown websites as you want.
Very lazy journalism(?). No attempt to contact anyone at Frontier just read some posts from a forum and pas it off as news.
There is no attempt made to see how widespread the issues were - I wasn't affected and I'm sure 99% of players weren't affected but this blog implies that the whole game was brought down.
I agree that Frontier could have communicated better (and more quickly) but they are now planning a server status page that should help answer questions in the future.

January 3, 2015 - not that old.
These are not reviews at all. These are simple reports about devs approach to game and expected bugs, found.
If you release a well publicized game, there are bound to be bugs. That's why, if done before holidays, devs take time off only after others go to work.
Remember, this is a listed company. Do you think traders play the game? They just google it, find bad press .. and downhill goes the stock price.

The first report is fairly good, kinda "breaking news". AFAIK the server issues weren't universal, only some of the player base was involved so calling it "ball locks" as the second report does is a little strong.

Sinking ship is a little OTT. So the servers had a wobble over new year (wonder if year roll over had anything to do with it?) which is a pretty bad time to happen with extra player load and reduced support staffing. I suppose if the whole lot had gone down for over 3 days over Christmas preventing anyone logging in, well any service that bad that issue would clearly be a sinking ship......

Even if the guy in the picture, featured on these write ups, had received 5 billion from no where. I'd still like to know how he has a python and 697 million in the bank, yet he's only a mostly harmless peddler that's aimless to boot.
Can someone tell me how he's made all that money (minus the 5 billion) and that big ship, without earning hardly any ranks in combat, trading or exploring.
game of the year 2k14....
Incorrect. Massivly article (the first) was challenged on this in comments. They responded, that waiting for developer's reply is just way for devs to stall, damage control and avoid problems, they caused for themselves.
Devs are very welcome to respond. On twitter, fb, in articles, via press release.
But, there was and is no such communication. One silly post by single dev in nonstickied thread doesn't count as company communication about issues, they are having shortly after release of (kickstartered) products.
So thirdworld...
