Just like to say this up front, I’m not in any shape or form quiting this game. I’ll run it til the wheels fall off. Now that being said…
I wanted to take a minute and say thank you Frontier. I played the first Elite in the 80s all the way up to this version. I’ve spent a metric ton of hours in the world you created and loved every single minute of it. Some of my best gaming moments were in the cockpits of the ships you created and I honestly can’t thank you enough for creating this game.
However, we are older now and wiser. We can read the writing on the wall much better than we used too and we are not afraid to accept the truth. Sometimes things just get old, they become monotonous and with that comes less attention to these things. We all know that a lion share of your time goes into other projects, we can feel your lack of love in the state of the game and we don’t hate you for it. We actually understand that you are a business and need to make decisions based on profitability. It’s just a shame, that’s all. This game could easily take on SC, NMS and even newer games like Starfield (although that’s an RPG not a sim). But the truth is we can all see your heart is not in it anymore. We can feel the lack of passion from your team in the way issues persist and the lack of additional content. Not to mention dropping things that you said you were working on.
Unfortunately no one wants to be in a one way relationship, it has to be a two way street but you just don’t look at the player base like you once did.
As I said I’m not leaving this game, I’ll be here to the end. But situations like this have a way of ending abruptly. So I wanted to take a few minutes and give a heart felt thank you, for everything. From the immersion and that first time I looked out the canopy in VR. To those heart stopping dogfights that I almost lost. To the wonderment that I felt landing on so many planets with those breathtaking views.
07 everyone, I know I see less and less of you out in the black but thank you to the players too for sticking with this game through it’s rough times as well and not giving up.
We honestly hope that Braben and all the folks from FDev have a change of heart and put the effort back into this project, but as we said we are wiser now and understand that the bottom line runs the video game industry and not artistic passion.
Thanks again Frontier for all the times … both good and bad. This has been an amazing experience!
