is harsh criticism of E:D and FDev welcomed here? (lemm.ee)

Ever since Update 16 gave us nothing new that isn't War-related except magnetic sippy cups at low-grav outposts, I've become disillusioned and very much disappointed in E:D and especially FDev. However, on the other site, whenever I post any comments that give any sort of criticism towards E:D or FDev, I get chastised and ridiculed. It seems that, now, the general consensus is that FDev can do no wrong and E:D is the greatest game ever. I don't agree, I think they both have a lot wrong with them, and this is coming from someone with over 800 hours put into the game and who loves it to death. I guess I was wondering if this place is as much of an echo chamber as the other place, or if I can truly freely air my opinions on certain things about E:D and FDev here

Again, with effort, they could easily make it more accessible to new players, but they just don't. The forum has also turned into an echo chamber as well, btw. Warframe is different in that the updates, at least since the last time I played it, introduced things that made the game more enjoyable and accessible to new players and generally showed that the devs actually cared, but FDev just doesn't care about E:D. Like at all. The fact they shut down the anti-aliasing support threads with zero effort into actually fixing it says it all to me. They don't care about this amazing game

I agree with you about the lack of content and care but on the other hand, we only can speculate about the why. TBH I didn't have any issues with AA on my part so I don't have any knowledge about this topic but also it's a bit disturbing to close threads without communication. But hey, the game still getting some bugs fixed and receive little updates, maybe not with the same love as from some players expected but at least it's getting some. Sadly there is a huge incomparable pile of games and Dev showing how not to keep a game alive... Maybe Frontier is just done with the game and think it's fine how it is? There's a german saying: "Alles hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei" Everything has an end but the sausage has two... Yeah I should have head to bed... Gn8
