　　"I am sorry that you all have been experiencing performance issues with The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. I understand how frustrating this can be, and I assure you the team at Private Division is working on getting a patch out as soon as possible. When we have more information about that patch, we'll be sure to let folks know."

　　Toward the end of its post, Obsidian links to a Private Division Support Page, where you can submit any problems you may encounter while playing The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition.

　　The Spacer's Choice Edition's issues are harder to swallow because this wasn't a free upgrade for existing players--those who already own the game need to pay another $10 to get the new version.
