Elite Dangerous | Dry Commentary | Paid Ships, Prebuilds, and Perverse Incentives
Frontier Developments recently announced that they would begin selling early access to new ships, and instant outfitting packages that players can buy to jump directly into high level activities. This presents an opportunity to look at their plans, and make some suggestions about other ways that Elite Dangerous can generate revenue that avoid direct impact to the play space.
We should definitely and respectfully let them know when we don’t like something, and more importantly, vote with our wallets when they don’t listen. What is happening to elite is not a crisis, but time will tell if these decisions bear good fruit.
