You promised to leave the thread!
I hope those of you who are defending the devs on this have thought this through, because once the supporters of the offline mode are gone with their refund (at least I hope a refund is still on the table), you'll be stuck between the devs who pushed the always online model on you on one side, and that growing part of the community who keeps creating new threads every week asking to pay for a monthly subscription on the other. God forbid if sales are disappointing and that were to happen at some point down the road, you'd better expect to face the same witty arguments you've been throwing at us all this time such as "they never promised it would be free, only said "it will be free" on Kickstarter", "you can't blame them, they really tried to keep it free but in the end had to change the model", "stop whining everyone can afford to pay $15 a month", "you're so entitled for expecting to play online without paying for a subscription" and of course the good ol' "You want the game to remain free, even if that would make it worse?" from the team. As unlikely a possibility as this might look right now, keep in mind that cancelling the offline mode looked just as unlikely to some us a few days ago.
A quick question for anyone who saw Elite Dangerous being demoed at a games expo / event like EGX - were those demo stations just running tutorial missions, or were they networked? Just wondering whether Frontier took along a local server to power those shows, as I can't imagine many exhibition centres being able to provide stable internet access for that number of machines.
That's the thing with wedges, they have thin edges.
I know they had a 'server machine' at some of them, can't speak for all though.
This thread is completely stupid.
Whichever side of the debate you fall on, nothing constructive is being said (in anything resembling civil conversation) and no new points are being made.
Let it die. It is bad for the community and the game.
The decision has been made. I'm personally gutted, but getting hysterical on the internet isn't going to change anything.

I try to explain it often before in this thread but they want listen.
I absolutly agree with all you post...sry can 'rep right now...there was many good posts in this thread.
Ok... When this issue is gonna appear in the Kotaku site?
I think is because we can't post things in another language... it's an english forum and we must use that language. (it's common sense after all)

As soon as they realize that there are at least a couple of female gamers on the offline side of this thread, I assume.
Thanks - I guess that suggests LAN play is technically possible, at least, even if Frontier don't want to provide that for the full game.
NL49.... I like it. The single newsletter that marked the deroute of an until then remarkable title.
He did, didn't he...
If you view someones avatar, you have the option to add them to your ignore list.
So, an AWS server isn't really needed, if you're correct...
Well Said! Questions need to be asked.
I just wanted to say that i am in full agreement with all the comments regarding people being <snip> with having no Offline mode.I have read the newsletter and IMO the way it was announced was a disgrace.I have been watching ED vids and catching up with all the news for many months now and playing in an offline mode was for me at least a big deal.ED for me was going to be a definite day 1 purchase,honestly now... im not so sure,Gamespot are already on the case concerning "Cancellation of offline mode" and i believe within the next week there will be many others,I hope with all my heart that all this "bad" publicity that may be coming in the gaming press doesnt ruin what promised and hopefully still promises to be a great game.Most of us have been waiting a long time for a game like this and for me personally with everything thats going on at the moment with regards to the game and to some extent the lack of and in some cases curt replies from Frontier Developments i will be seriously be considering waiting till next year to see what happens with the future of ED.Best of luck to everyone whether its getting a refund or really enjoying ED and all that it may bring..Fly safe Commanders

Sir, it's a matter of personal choice. The people choose to make their comments because they feel that they're not powerless and by vocalising their points here, ultimately, something positive will come out of it.
For you sir, "if thine eyes offend thee, pluck them out" No one is forcing you to stay against your will.
Course it isn't they have a server we could probably run on a normal pc, they just ain't sharing it
