Am I the only one who is wondering this? I have some sort of feeling that 2018 might be the last year of Elite Dangerous. I mean if the devs wanted to bow out of the development of the game what better way than to release a year of free stuff and then say sorry people but that's it we are done with it now.



Or is it perhaps because the planets will be next major update in a years time and it will be a very expensive one?



Am I the only person who has seen nothing much in next years updates and expansions that are interesting? To me its a damp squib. After all the talk of first person combat, boarding ships, planetary landings, hunting, animals etc where has all that gone then? Why are we not seeing more development leading up to those aspects?



I dunno its just a bit weird and something doesn't add up for me here. I haven't played the game for ages, in fact it just puts me to sleep thinking about playing it these days. I havent even been on these forums for several months actually. I've played it a while mind - probably a good 200 hrs or so total and some of that have been good fun, not a great deal of it though. It certainly was a lot better during the main Beta for me when I was learning it.



But nothing that they are planning to add over the next year interests me at all. In fact SC is far more likely to get get and retain my interest now the way that game is shaping up if that one ever gets released that is.



Just so much promise a few years ago with the new space games and now where are we - its all just fizzled out. Is anyone else concerned about where exactly this game is going if anywhere - or is it just me?
