FPS gamers must be consistently appeased with a new game every 3-6 months. I am not saying new content, I mean these guys need a new Modern Warfare or Battlefield every season. They will play the newest thing for a few months and then move on to the newest game. Hilmar is saying this is the fanbase they want to build on with DUST. He wants to build on a fanbase of players that typically burn themselves out on the newest game then jump onto a new one months later. DUST will die.
Excessively premature launch of Battlefield 4's has caused the company to sue itself and its losing base with its fans.

Back to the OP;
I riddle you guys this;
what good is a link? if your game is crashing, cant support voice, lags to hell, looks like crap, and has no idea of balance?
Link at the end of the day is a gimmick and unless given full attention it deserves that can only come on the heels of an awesome shooter; will be nothing more than a lame gimmick.
If we can get the game stable, and growing, and appreciated and then we do the link, the link will benifit more from it.

I don't think abandoning everything to get link there is going to be worthwhile effort though not while the game laments on poorer game play that can certainly be better.
Some links can happen much much later and we have so far done with a near absence of one.
I also have to constantly remind people I do have access to NDA material and you are going to have a hard time convincing me that based on facts I am looking at that somehow the link will magically keep people in the game.
I think its far more important for us to establish a far better 'first 5 minutes' and that can be easily achieved 'without direct link'.

CCP can't go into the future blind to any future vision of how Dust and Eve interact. It can't be done through half-finished systems that have failed because they are missing chunks that were supposed to make them work (glares at planetary conquest).
Yes, Dust has to be a game that hooks you from the beginning, but if CCP doesn't set clear and obtainable goals for what Dust is going to be to greater New Eden moving forward then Dust is destined to decline into irrelevancy. In a crowded shooter market, Dust's main resource that it can plug into to differentiate itself is the living and breathing New Eden universe. No one can copy that at this point.
Honestly, there is no point to NOT have Dust plug into Eve in a very tangible way. Frankly, if Eve were to die so to would Dust anyways.
Its more of a question as to when and how though, as kain puts it half hattery just annoys players even more so.
