This may annoy everyone but...

I dont understand why when Elite dangerous promised no further payments in lieu of the lack of a standalone non internet game, I still had to pay for Horizons and now Oddessey, which I cant spell.

Doesnt integrity include doing what one says down the line?

Or please someone tell me if Im remembering wrongly and have had too many beers. ( again )
 
There was no obligation to pay for any DLC, only if you want to play it now.

Horizons was a paid for expansion, but now is free .. the same will happen to Odyssey in due course (after the next "great" expansion pack)

Odyssey slightly challenges this since it splits the playerbase. Fortunately Odyssey is so bad that no one needs to worry about being left behind lol.

I think the OP is a LEP. Best let another LEP answer his / her question.

Unlikely, given they said they had to pay for Horizons. However, the OP is intoxicated (as am I) so .. maybe some clarity is required here :)

In either case:
-- If LEP = true, support ticket to FDEV as there is nowt we can do
-- If LEP = false, then my response still stands. FDEV claimed that the running costs of ED would be free (aka no subscription) but made no claims to future content (that I can remember)

It's not bad, it's just.... unfinished product ;)

I had a lot of fun in alpha and I do have fun now (as long as I manage to avoid gamebreaking bugs).
 
If you are LEP and cannot install Odyssey, highlight it in the launcher and press enter on your keyboard. That should start the install.

my horizons was a preorder. I was dead keen at that point.

Right, so you're not a lifetime pass holder.

IIRC FDEV said the ED would be "free" in so much that there would be no running costs (no subscriptions) so the base game would always be free to play afterwards.

Cosmetics, and the expansion packs, are optional.

Horizons (I believe) is now part of the base game, so that's now free .. give it until the next major update and no doubt Odyssey will be free too.
 
thanks

Thx for clarifying
 
I think OP is a troll.
Most LEP owners are.

Now that's being a troll ;)

FDEV even stated in the FAQ of the Kickstarter what Elite Dangerous would get DLCs, and that those DLCs would cost money.

Odyssey. I learned after playing Assassins Creed Odyssey and having to search for hints on the internet for things.

Some people just want to get paid for their work. Even if their work is miserable like this piece of beta. the 30 Euros I paid don't bother me much because I had a slim hope that something good was coming out of it,
