I have no idea why you do that. It is, for the third time, cool you personally have no issues. But downplaying the issues countless others objectively have had, and giving HG a free pass while instead blaming consumers who are stuck with a broken product, is rather shameful.
Out of curiosity: why is it so hard for you to acknowledge thousands upon thousands of people factually encountered critical bugs, and why are you ok with HG basically saying 'suck it, start again'? It's weird.
Man you really are taking this to a crusade level, aren't you. Other people tell you they're playing without major problems. We're also offering viable solutions which are easy to implement and allow one to play the game unhindered while having a cozy cushion of a backup.
I'm not giving HG "a free pass", I'm simply refraining from mud-slinging due to some bugs on release of big content update, while all you do is run around screaming "doom" to the level that people are literally holding back on playing because of all this noise. Which, again, can be alleviated through a save folder backup. Which is residing on your drive and not on somebody's servers. That's why your analogy was flawed btw. - in case of Elite "property damage" you're pretty much on FD Support's mercy. Here, you can simply overwrite the file with a backup and you're done.
Are other people experiencing problems? For sure, there were 2 million players since Beyond's launch according to HG. It is literally impossible to test all the hardware/software configurations. Some of these players could for example be playing on experimental branch before release which was said can cause issues. The thing is HG is sitting there patching, and doing it quite fast. They have a zendesk collecting issues. It is commendable. I know AAA titles which are unpatched to this day, looking at you Battlefield V and singleplayer missions stutter and cutscenes being unwatchable...
What I am trying to say is, try not to spoil other people's enjoyment by projecting your fears. Also I read somewhere that they enabled the rebind - can't say if it was on experimental or master, because I'm on experimental testing VR performance improvements. But now you can try
the horror for yourself. Just backup your save so you don't lose your base or there will be more complaining.
It's not "tribal behaviour" like you wrote, it's my dislike to the "being offended" culture which is prevalent nowadays.
I hate it, because nowadays people prefer to go on a rant and not to play, while they could just backup and at least try to play the game. And yes I am pushing back on that "snowflake culture".
