You say that, but as a console player you can have as many different commanders as you want. We have to pay for each extra one by rebuying the game at its present price...
Indeed, Frontier are clearly no longer the plucky little independant company trying to make good. It makes it all the more puzzling why they asked for £s in a KickStarter, effectively charitable donations, when they clearly didn't need them.
Which in the case of Epic week was absolutely nothing.

Will probably have to disagree with that last part of your statement but that is probably the topic of an entirely different thread!
As soon as a game company gets onto a stock market, the players are not the prime customer they keep happy, investors are all they are concerned with
No, they are the 'evil' publisher that they themselves were so keen to avoid when setting up self- publication.

I totally understand the current conditions we live under. Personally i am happy to wait and will also(as a life time game holder) be happy to test when the time comes. Lives and life must come before all else and we do live in extraordinarily difficult times. I have nothing but respect and admiration for all of us for working and continuing to move forward in such times. Well done to all at Frontier and thanks for struggling through the toughest of times
I think it will anger most of the player base. Not some.
Ah, I see... Everything outside of the game (even changing HUD colours is modifying the game files) makes the PC version have more than the console version?
Yes, I can run my PC version in 4k effortlessly - but my GPU could buy 2 PS5 consoles and still have pocket money left over, my CPU price could have bought a PS5 too...
My PS4 version has the same content as my PC versions, I can even watch youtube etc. on the PS4 if I wish... (I don't, but that is choice)
And, if one wishes to purchase cosmetics, each PC account is independent from the other. Console version shares
/offtopic I think you are right, to a degree. There is no doubt about it that things have changed and workers are demanding more flexibility from their company. There will always be a need for F2F communication and meetings however they will become the exception rather than the norm in the future. Personally, I welcome it and consider myself grown up enough to decide when it's more appropriate to go into the office than work remotely.
/on-topic I think what FD have posted here is fair and anyone who is over salty about things related to well-being, covid, and its effect on people, needs to check themselves as they are obviously living in a bubble not connected to the rest of the world. Self-centric views like that are dangerous, as we have seen in recent times.
Thanks for being straight up FDEV
Now FD can use this time and per-empt problems- engage with us a little and gain feedback on systems via the AMA but in reverse. Got a 'what would they like?' question- ask us and we give feedback and suggestions. Will save red faces later on and save time fixing them.
True, so now I have 2 pc accounts, and an account for Xbox. That is the exception rather than the rule, and I had to have a separate install, something that console players don't need to have for each CMDR.
Is fake news the destination for humanity? Early 2021 and First Quarter 2021 were used, not start of. You think the launches of the Planet Series and Jurrassic World were "screw ups"?! They are a publisher of course they play the market.
Are you Simon Jenkins?
Would people be happier if the 'First Footfall' award for being first to walk around a planet is disabled until the console release is ready?
I don't mind missing out on that until the Xbox and playstation catches up.

Do the feet have to be technically attached to the body to count?
