DUST Search - CCP, clearly you've dug yourself a hole you can't climb out of.

The platform is orthogonal to all the issues we're facing with DUST. Google the hard words in my previous sentence before replying.

Also a glimpse from software development world: "rewrite" has bigger chance to kill a project, than leaving in on PS3 and letting people like you go play PS4 titles. It can also impact the company and not in a good way. Pulling a game with player base from a platform, to develop it for new platform for **** knows how long is not a viable solution economically, first and foremost. And BS about "saving what's left of DUST reputation" is brain dead. If this game is pulled out then it is no more. There is no game. Reputation is all that is left. And reputation for discontinued products means two things: jack & ****. And in two years, when it's re-released, it's long forgotten, because people have moved on. Also two years without user feedback and bug reports. Great idea.

orthogonal
A word used by the tech-savvy to sound smarter than they really are.

More specifically:

A math term that means perpendicular, but not just in 2D but in any dimension. Now commonly used to indicate an idea or concept that stands apart so much from everything else that it "sticks out," is "from left field," or is "third-way."
"I have this co-worker who keeps using the word 'orthogonal,' usually after he mentions some idea he thinks is God's gift to man. Can't wait to get this word into my vocab. Soon as I figure out what it means." - Urban Dictionary

Anyway, where do I begin? "It's long forgotten" Yeah, no. You do not know that. FFXIV proves otherwise. Also, i'm not suggesting the completely discontinue the game. I'm suggesting a rebirth, unless CCP has a trick up their sleeve to get rid of the negative stigma they've created for themselves. I highly doubt the latter.

And the whole thing about 2-3 years without user feedback and bug reports? Easily remedied with PS4/PSN developer friendly patching/QA system. You want to know the hard truth?

A tiny player base's opinions are not a suitable substitute for competent developers. I'm talking, CCP Shanghai needs a total overhaul. Just like Square Enix did.

FFXIV is the sequel to FFXIV ARR and lets be honest, its the first successful sequel to an FF game in a long time.

Please explain to me how FFXIV is a "sequel" to ARR don't you mean prequel.... unless you have your titles backwards... Oh right, yeah ARR is the sequel. sorry. I never managed to beat White Raven that was a pita of a fight.
