Money is hard to make these days and good games are harder, they're well placed to know it be positive ; )
Edit: I've already had my money's worth with this game and I've only played a few hundred hours.. It's just a few dollar game, not a car, not a house, chances are you'll get bored of it long before they retire it
What did you think you would happen OP? Did you really think we'd all agree with you and abandon the game? I'd point out all the ways that you are wrong, but what's the point in arguing with someone who's committed in being wrong.
I sincerely hope that you will leave and never come back. Good luck.
They did announce Offline Mode in their Kickstarter way back in 2012 (source under "How will single-player work?"), but they backpedaled on that just before release and received quite a backlash.
David Braben then also claimed[forums.frontier.co.uk] FDev does regular backups and will release the latest backup if the servers were to shut down.
Unfortunately FDev has a history of ignoring parts of their community if they saw no monetary gain (LEP, consoles, Odyssey VR, etc). So the possibility of them doing anything above a bare minimum (releasing a server backup) is very low.

I think some folk watch a doomtuber expounding (endlessly) on why the game is going to die - usually because the devs won't listen to the doomer and 'fix' the game in ways only the youtuber - with zero game dev experience - knows how.
I'll choose the gameplay choices made by David Braben - 40 years involved with Elite - over some edgy clickbaity youtuber.
Pretty much this. How many threads do you see claiming that "the game would be perfect if they just implemented my hare-brained idea" from folks that have never even tried to make a game?
I doubt it's the case with Elite, but there's also a recent trend of game journalists writing hit pieces against games/companies that refuse to cater to demands and make the game they want to make.
Take Black Myth: Wukong as an example. All these cries that it lacks "inclusivity" are absolutely ridiculous when you're talking about a game based on Chinese mythology. I remember seeing one of the reporters that tried to stir up hate for the game on this basis voicing her disappointment that so many people were playing the game (it broke records, IIRC) and that "all my hard work was for nothing" which is just stupid.
Trying to tell people what they should or shouldn't like because you don't like it is reprehensible. I'm all for diversity in games, but shoving in characters that seem out of place just for the sake of it is jarring and seems like pointless pandering. I've never needed a character just like me to find any game, movie, tv show, etc. relatable, and I suspect that this is true for most folks.
But, I've strayed from the point, my bad... what I'm getting at is that people these days are easily offended, and others love to take advantage of that fact to sow discord, fear and stir up hate. I try not to participate whenever I can avoid it, but it's a sad thing to see.
Entitlement is also at an all-time high (or maybe we just see it more thanks to the internet). People think that just because they want a feature in a game they play, that means the developers are obligated to cater to them and failing to do so means that they don't care about ANY of the people who play their games.
Yep, exactly. Let them go make a game and we'll see how it fares. A lot of people think that just because they play video games, they know what makes a good game when in reality all they know is what THEY enjoy. Not what would actually make a successful/profitable game.
Frontier has done a pretty good job of keeping its core demographic happy, I'd say. You can't please everyone, but on the whole they've managed to retain a good player-base and keep the game alive for a decade. Not a small feat, considering how niche of a game Elite is.
They've been screeching it for the last decade.
Hopefully there's another decade in it, at least.
Unfortunately, eventually... they will be right one day.
Today is not that day though
Host a group session, unless you mean hosting the server on your own PC, but even then, group sessions are still private and it's how I currently play the game.
Yeah, I think they mean if the game ever shuts down for good, they'd want to either be able to play it single-player or host a multiplayer session with friends from their own PC. We do have private groups and solo mode already, as you said. They're just talking about if/when the game eventually shuts down.
