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

At one point you have had seen it all, played it all, know everything about it. Sadly all games grow way slower than people playing it.

The game is almost 10 years old and is quite overwhelming to newer players, same goes for other older games like Warframe for example. I've sunk over 2000hours into Warframe but at one point it felt boring, nothing really new happens, even the annual "big updates" felt like same thing wrapped into another shell. Despite Warframe is living/earning from this updates, ED is different at this point, they already earned it and still add a little bit of content.

I would love to see another DLC, a proper one, well thought through. But at the other hand, what will it benefit ED without straying too far away?

And btw, Reddit is blind for criticism. If you want to help though, try to post at the official forum. it will get more attention then here I guess. Anyway, fly safe CMDR^^

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
