17th of September and 1st of October will be the test for DUST... and it's one I predict will show a huge drop in player count. |

The Only thing that matters is cash flow. As long as there are enough players spending AUR then CCP can continue this experiment. We don't know the numbers that truly matter nor will we.
F2P has different requirements and the most important one is related to meeting or exceeding Cash inflow projections. CCP is patient. If the moaners don't know that, which they obviously don't, then they should read some histories about EVE Online.
Spending money on what though? There's been ZERO new meaningful content to write home about. A few maps? 
The amount of people I know that stopped buying AUR because there's no reason to get SP fast anymore. Heavies still have 1 AI weapon and 1 suit. Tanks are still a joke. Scouts are borderline useless. ARs dominate everything, shotgun hit detection is off somehow, and we're basically playing the same game for too long to care about it anymore.
How about new weapons? How about new suits? New vehicles? More EVE integration? Make FW mean something? Naaah... first CCP needs to fix their archaic gameplay and visuals and just the general optimization of DUST needs work still. So until all that's been sorted, new content takes a backseat. They say new weapons in 1.5? lol... we'll see.
You can choose to believe DUST is fine, and what not, fact is DUST lost ALLOT of beta vets, and the people that actually spent good money on DUST.

I don't think so, GTA 5 is going to have little or not impact in Dust 514. The biggest danger have already gone pass: "FINAL FANTASY XIV" Next one is BF4.
When The Last Of Us came out, the player count dropped badly. Then slowly went back up. GTA5 has 2 weeks of SP, then MP is introduced on the 1st. So basically a month of steady GTA5 gameplay. After that is PS4 in November.
DUST will see allot less people from next week Tuesday till whenever / if ever people feel like playing a last gen game. A sub par one at that. Not even hating on DUST, just stating how it is. |

In principal Dust 514 still is a MMO, even that we don't really have the MMO part of the game yet. GTA games are always the same, you have fun for about a week and then you get bore with them... so, not really a danger.
Battlefield 4 is a different story, is closer to Dust 514 than GTA 5 is. That is a real danger, but even then, it is hard to compare MMO's with Normal games, two different animals. I personally think FF14 "was" the biggest danger, and Dust survived, just about.
This is nowhere near an MMO. It's a FPSRPG if anything. The only RPG side is leveling up your character, cuz we all know there's no customization what so ever.
GTA5 SP is R*'s biggest ever. You're underestimating the hype and quality of the game. Then you're also underestimating the fun factor of the MP aspect.
FF did take away a few people, so did Diablo, and GTA5 will do the same, then after PS4 with next gen FPS (KZ, PS2, BF4, Blacklight Ret. etc). You think this won't add up?
FF is not the biggest danger to DUST by a long shot lol. |

Apples and grapes
PC and console
EVE is a player-driven, persistent-world MMORPG. Dust a FPSRPG lobby shooter. You really can't compare the 2. |
