Xbox cloud gaming is powered by... Xboxes. So it doesnt give developers anything new, different, or more capable to develop for. Its all the same stuff.
Update on Communication

I think they may laugh the most at the angry ex-boyfriend type, they are excellent entertainment, after all.
This is a good post.
Or, y'know, whip up a 3 paragraph post on friday at 4.45pm.
I think there is alot of truth in this. My guess is that they really are in a bind on console support, the opimisation is still not where it needs to be, and are really struggling to get to a point where technically they can deliver on what they have announced.
I was an accountmanager in a company once and they got contacted by a competing company regarding a take over. They got a warning that they shouldn't be making any public statements that would drive the price of their stock higher or lower. This was interpreted in such a way that I was no longer allowed to send out any offers or contracts. Everybody in sales was prevented from getting on with their job.
So that's why I'm saying this is the reason. It's not logical, it's not smart, but at least it's a reason.
They specified the meet and greet Friday will be a casual meeting and NO INFORMATION regarding the game will be shared. So they're keeping their powder dry for that? No.

Problem there is that would mean no talking about all the games. But the silence is only on ED.
The problem with your question is that it assumes that what has been communicated is based in reality.I was wondering...
What kind of 'things' they have to figured out how to 'communicate' that takes so long.
At the beginning I've read the post in a super positive way.
Now, oh boy...
I mean, good things are easy to reach an agreement on how to communicate right?
RIGHT?
If the statement in question is just a load of fluff which is designed to defer or placate, then your question has no meaning becuase it is based on something which is not real.

That's because the magnitude of the BAD NEWS that's about to arrive re: ED will be earth-shattering and cause FD's share price to plummet! Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!
The other games aren't in trouble like ED is. They don't have to face questions about FC interiors or EDO coming to consoles.
Perhaps that's the problem, the announcement about FC interiors was premature.

If this post stays up, I want my Tiswas post back. With interest.Remember when people were being banned from this thread for being off-topic?
As others have said, Frontiers other game streams are getting weekly sessions and interaction with their respective community teams, so why the silence on Elite Dangerous, your logic isn't making sense. it really is like we've fallen out of the galaxy. I hope this game continues, as I see there's a lot more that can go into this, I like the other 40+ year old gamers are realising their dream that David Braben realised back in 1984 (I noticed you cant tag David now).

Dont forget they are activley recruiting for positions for Elite. Its hard to work out why you would do that for a game you are about to mothball.
I dont think FC interiors are a big problem. All the messaging from CM`s is highly suggestive that the work is very close to completion, and some of the assets are already in the live game, and have been discovered and shared by players.
Everything points to console being the problem. I guess we`ll find out for sure some time between now and financial year end.
OR perhaps the company is busy crunching to get their F1 and Warhammer games which have already been delayed out the door and that extends to co-opting the community managers who suffer the unfortunate indiginty of working on ED community management.
Besides if questions need to be answered about ED going forward there is little point having 4/5 CM's sitting about doing not a lot waiting on a email from the developers.
