Greetings Frontier team,
I wanted to write to share my experience and feelings as a player of Elite Dangerous. I started playing not long ago on console, and despite the discontinuation of support for this platform, I managed to reach the highest levels in exploration, trading, and combat. However, this achievement is tinged with bitterness because I no longer have access to new content, and even the galactic news is missing.
I feel abandoned. At first, I was frustrated and, like many of my friends, I left the game to move on to something else. But recently, I rediscovered Elite Dangerous and realized how extraordinary this game is. I don't know what happened between the managers at Frontier and those of the various consoles, but I hope it's not over.
There must be a term in psychology to describe what I feel: nostalgia or denial? In any case, the enthusiasm and bitterness are present. It's a bit like being dumped by your girlfriend and seeing her succeed in life with someone else. Except… that I was not in love and I'm not sure things are really better for her.
I am here as a fan of Elite Dangerous to express, on behalf of all enthusiasts, how much we would like the negotiations to support consoles to resume. Your game has brought us a lot of pleasure and adventure, and we hope to continue enjoying it fully.
Elite Dangerous has created a passionate and dedicated community, and it would be a shame to lose this part of your player base. We understand that technical and commercial challenges may exist, but we firmly believe that finding a solution to restore console support would be beneficial for everyone. We hope you can reconsider this decision and work towards a solution that will allow all players to continue exploring the wonders of the universe you have created.
With all my gratitude,
Sylvain Rochette (Cmdr Rockhem)
