NEWSLETTER #312
- Thread starter Fawkner
- Start date
Honestly for a long time the "newsletter" was nothing but a way to try and sell paintjobs.
If they didn't include community created content it would be barren. I don't even think FDev want anyone to buy Odyssey, they have done such a poor job of advertising it and building hype.

It's a weekly thing. They may have no news since the midweek thing, that wouldn't invoke rage.
I am quite worried about the Odyssey release, as where there has been very little shown of it, I think they are way off from any release date this year.
I have adopted a laissez-faire view of all things ED/FD.
Years ago, and into PP, it bothered me that there was merit decay, so I quit PP, leaving in a huff (not in a taxi as Groucho famously joked).
Then worked up through ranks and ships, cursed at RNGesus and came to swear off engineering and so on. Too involved, in a game.
Now, the game only matters when I play, not outside. The upcoming update only enters my mind is when I read about it on the forum.
The update will have to work within the current game limitations, so it will a furtherance, not a revolution.
But it has been said that the last to die is hope...

The headline article is Dr Kay's stream. About Odyssey. Dummy.
Newsletters are not really aimed at us here in the caves though. Its more like a semi -vestigial targeted media post that is more outmoded these days with social media.
Long ago that the newsletter is not, what it was in early game.
I never worry about games & stuff, that is pointless...
Odd though, my impression is that they have commited to releasing the PC version by 31st May... The console version eventually, naturally...
For something that will be released on the 31st of May there is a real lack of promotion to highlight it's new features.
Surely it wouldn't take a lot to release a small video clip each week of its progress, May isn't that far away!
Really, so what in that livestream have we not seen before from the very short Odyssey release video.?
Who's the dummy sitting through an hour of dribble just to see stills of what we have seen before.
Are you new to Frontier Developments and their mysterious ways?
Ha ha
No, just been out in the black for too long, I haven't yet seen the light.Are you new to Frontier Developments and their mysterious ways?
Perhaps the livestream coming on Tuesday of next week is worth watching? Just in case it contains a snippet more of the DLC content than we have been given to date...
Every company has a different idea of "promotion". To be honest I would prefer relatively modest promotion and a complete product rather than CIG-level "this is going to revolutionise gaming" promotion and have no product.
I presume the majority of information and details will be released after the alpha begins, as more and more features are made available for testing.
Bah, the last newsletter I got was #310.
Now I've got to find where I've blocked it.
