Kardwill: Oooh! I didn't know this one. I'll be sure to remember it, it should (unfortunately) be quite useful in years to come.
Thanks :)
Well, I suspect that you may prefer "à force de prendre les gens pour des sans-dents illettrés juste bons à payer des taxes et à se taire, il ne faut pas s'étonner de se retrouver pendu à la lanterne" ...

coldtony: And just been informed by Paypal that I've gotten my refund for the full amount, so not the partial refund some people were reporting. Maybe they wised up about that.
Wow, they refunded you in full?! What is up with Frontier? They refund the people who don't want the refund and they stall on the others...
Their mismanagement is turning epic.

Nah, the email said £35.00 but when I actually checked it on Paypal there was a transaction fee, which I assume is being charged by Paypal. Not a biggy. Moving on. There'll be another big space sim releasing soon enough.

Naaaah, this one is a little too ranty (although I tend to agree). The "pigeons" one is more catchy. Almost poetic ;)

Cracked me up. The Elite Trailer (with added honesty).

Talk about fake advertising. :P

I've played all 3 Elite games.
This trailer is against the spirit of all previous Elite games.

Makes the life of a space merchant/privateer seem like that of a Guardian of the Galaxy.

Solei: Bad news.

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=58789

Despite having promised the Kickstarters and the other backers a DRM free and fully offline capable game, the cat is now out of the bag in their latest newsletter:

Apparently they designed the game for Diablo3 style online-only all the way along, and not kept the promises they made back then.

A big shame, since i backed this at their kickstarter campaign with a considerable amount - and one of the titles i was really looking forward to.

If anyone here supported this game for the promised off-line mode, you really should demand a refund.

Personally I'm royally pissed right now, i didn't believe Frontier would do such a move and betray the trust of their backers like that.
mmh, and a good who cares?!..

O.o

Either you're totally tone deaf and bereft of any kind of empathy (not to mention missed the point of all 11 pages of fully expanded thread), or I lost something in the translation.

Edit: Well, that kind of attitude does take a big pair, so kudos for that I guess.

Well. Some individuals don't care unless they get bait and switched themselves.
Go figure.

When there are so difficult on refunds, they are giving £13000 away easily. Is this where the money saved on denial of refunds / partial refunds goes?
