I share a lot of the frustration with patches and updates we all have. But i have to admit, i'm happier with Frontier than i ever was with Bungie. At Least we have the producers responding to us, saying they are working on it. We all want the game to go forward, and we all have many beefs with the game. But personally i think Frontier , for the size of the company and the scope of their work. Is doing a good job. Regretfully its industry standard to be cryptic as possible.
I'm going to hang on playing Elite Dangerous, enjoy what it is. Patiently waiting for what's next. Because i honestly believe, because of "cross-buy" and Microsoft playing from behind on console sales. We'll see some great stuff in the future. This game has a TON of potential. I've paid more for a lot less.
We should never let any Software company off the hook, afterall. We are what keeps them in business. They'll either listen or we take our money elsewhere. So I couldn't ever fault another player for walking away. My thought is, keep complaining, keep recommending, and be positive when they do something we find amazing. The minute any community goes silent on game content. Is the minute it will start falling apart.
