I think Elite was the first space combat sim and did kick start the genre . But as far as I remember Star Trader was the first space sim back in 1974. It was text based only had six commodities to trade in and was written in basic though, so hardly mainstream.

just to make things clear: elite invented the space game without ELITE there would be no eve online,star citizen and any other space trading game.

OMG what a silly boy you are.. did you say that to provoke a response or are you serious?

fact elite was the first 3d space game using wireframe models
was the very first of its genre.

Frontier response to ppl asking for refunds.

Will you give people refunds?
We have started responding to requests where there is a clear outcome:
-    Those who have pre-ordered an Elite: Dangerous release version from our online store and have therefore not yet played the game are eligible for a refund.
-    Those who have already been playing the game online in the Alpha and/or Beta phases, regardless of whether they backed the project via Kickstarter or purchased access to Alpha and/or Beta through our online store, are not eligible for a refund.

We want to make sure we treat each person's situation with the thoroughness it deserves, and have contacted each of them to ask that they bear with us over the next few working days if their circumstances do not fit either criteria above as we look into individual requests.

[albert]

Good on them. Make a stance. If there was a chance you played the game and had a performance problem then there has been ample time to raise a support ticket and work with FD to identify the problem.

What they're saying is no refund for offline grievers by default but we'll hear you out before deciding.

Let's close this thread!
