I'd challenge the "received quite well". Profitable maybe, but the developers infamously walked back a promise to have single-player gameplay (after taking money on the kickstarter where that was stated) available. There's a litany of bugs and brokenness that have been around for months, even years, but in the meantime, development effort is expended on Shiny Stuff to sell in the cash shop, and half-baked Shiny Stuff to release in expansions. Game-breaking bugs are fixed in weeks and months, rather than the traditional hours and days of any other MMO. Communication with the devs is spotty and increasingly infrequent. Sadly, it has no real competition either. And Frontier Developments knows this. E:D is a phenomenal and unique game, but it could be so much more if the devs would actually act like they gave a toss.
