Braben: Elite: Dangerous Offline Experience Would Be ‘poor’

VRFocus – Last week Frontier Developers announced that Elite: Dangerous, its anticipated virtual reality (VR) compatible space-simulation title set to launch next month, will no longer be supporting an offline mode. The developer reasoned that it would have to create two entirely separate experiences in order to accommodate a truly single-player option within the title. The decision has been met with controversy from the title's community, which cited an FAQ on Elite: Dangerous' Kickstarter campaign that states the title will feature an offline mode. Now Frontier Developments founder David Braben has made his own statement on the decision.
