Why does no one ever post a closed letter?
FDev killed a dog?!?!It's refreshing to see a bit of positivity on these forums!
ED is a very good game. Like most games, particularly those following the "live service" model, it has its fair share of problems and clearly FDev has made compromises in order to appeal to a wider variety of tastes and playstyles. But the way some people react to these issues, you'd think FDev had killed their dog or something.

Which open letter are you talking about?So, he posted an open letter to tell everyone their problems and complaints aren't legitimate because he hasn't had to deal with them... And that all complaints are stupid. That is not a logical way to deal with things. It's literally part of the real problem.
From the next patch notes: "Open Letters have been balanced and renamed to Slightly Ajar Letters. Please phrase your future communications accordingly."
I think more people would be happy and satisfied with the current state of Elite if Frontier didn't talk about all kinds of exciting stuff during the KS that's still nowhere to be seen five years later. They created all kinds of expectations that couldn't be fulfilled.
And I know they never used the word promise, so please let's not get into that tedious discussion again. In the end it was them who created those expectations.
