It wasn't a product, more like a share with - up till now - a meager dividend.
Not that I would ask for a citation, but do you have a citation?

Where did you get the idea that other Ants posted here?
More of a betting slip. The product itself the slip was definitely delivered we just don't know if people will win, lose or break even on it yet. Which is a different consideration.
No you couldn't.
As there was a component cost at the time (citation all over previous threads on the subject) this would indeed be very straight forward for an ethical company.
I'm so glad you're not in charge.
I mean, you're not....
Are you...?
No, it's absolutely laughable.
FD could.
Why would they ?.
Genus already answered that question, anyways, I think I now know a new way to make gambles, after all, that's how you call it.

Lot's on the consumer side of things if you read the links and Google keywords, but wouldn't want to feed the legal angle.

Yes and agreed. A quick one liner would have been very sensible.
Kinda - but I guess they want the announcement of any paid updates to be in the press, so announcing via the forums is unlikely. Most you would get is 'we're working on it, no ETAs' - which you can get in most livestreams by just asking.
Considering how much Elite has changed since the advent of Horizons and now Beyond, a defensible argument could be made that the "lifetime" of the base Elite game is over. Even those with the greatest abundance of Cranium, the densest mineral in the known and several unknown universes, cannot argue that the Elite we are playing today is not the same Elite from the kickstarter days. That old Elite is dead.
The "lifetime" of the "base game" lasted only a single year based on that argument, i.e., once Horizons launched the game had its first expansion. Obviously the "lifetime" for the LEP refers to the expected development time for the Elite franchise, which was first estimated in their 2015 Annual Report as being 8 years and was subsequently reduced to 7 years in the 2016 and 2017 Annual Reports. There's also the issue that we don't have space legs, boarding actions or landings on inhabited worlds which were all stated development goals when the LEP was sold.
Given that my launcher still says "Elite: Dangerous" on it and I can, in fact, still log into the base game I would suggest it is far from "dead". Also, given that combat, trading and exploration "core" gameplay still uses essentially the same shallow, repetitive, grindy game mechanics that the game employed at launch I would also suggest here that even the expansions have not significantly progressed beyond those core game mechaincs.

Because the game changes, the LEP is now invalid? By that (atrocious) logic, Elite only lasted 56 days (1.0 to 1.1), and you should have paid for every patch since.
