In no way am I trying to promote this game by saying this, it's only a fact here (and a depressing one).
GTA Online, in 4 months of it being out, has released more (actually new) content into the game than dust has in over its entire 1+ years of being developed.
What's up Shanghai? I mean, really.

I understand they are two completely different games, etc. But GTA isn't even an MMO, like dust is, where new content is usually welcomed (and needed) to support the community who want to grow with it. With Dust right now, there's no growing, there hasn't been for over a year, just adjustments to content we've already been dealing with since chromosome.

The other is a niche test game with a small dev team and virtually no public appeal.
Yes, but this niche game has a backing of a giant, online MMO that has hundreds of thousands of members, with arguably one of the most dedicated fanbases in gaming history, you'd think they would know a thing or two about how to conduct a good start-up for a game like this..

Rockstar has an absolutely huge development team (Numbering more then 500 employees for GTA online alone while dust doesn't even have 100 I believe and some of those devs are split between iceland and shanghai). If they didn't release that much content in 4 months then they would've been seen as a joke to every other game company. Really for the amount of devs they have working on GTA online they are actually doing pretty bad on the new content. Also not to mention that GTA V was guaranteed profit so it got plenty of money to spend on the game. (The largest budget for any game made so far in fact) Also after having made over a billion dollars within three days of release you should have plenty of money to make the game better without any risk. Oh and Rockstar has said GTA onliebn is going to continue even after GTA V. Rockstar wants GTA online to be a continued way of making money so of course they're going to release a lot of new content to keep their playerbase contempt so they can make more money. Seriously I don't even see why people compare two games with one being made by a niche indie company and the other being made by a triple A company with an already established playerbase. Hell the two aren't even the same type of game.
The whole point I'm trying to point out here is that GTA V is more of an MMO than Dust is right now. Dust is so far from where it claimed it was going to be by now it's not even funny, and CCP has a triple A game behind it's belt, and is making certainly a good amount of money from it.

Right now Dust is even more of a garbage game with a replay value lower than I've ever seen. Just a complete lack of progress on the part of the devs is more than apparent, even CPM pretty much all quit their job because it was so miserable, what does that say about how things are going over there in Shanghai right now?

GTA V isn't supported in the way EVE is, it only has cash cards to bring in monthly income (and not a lot of people get cash cards). EvE and it's Plex system is an entirely different story however. And to think that a company with such a successful monopoly lets Shanghai bring Dust into complete ruin from the first start makes me completely confused. you can't really compare a free roam game to.... this.... lobby shooter. a free roam is gonna win every time because lobby is archaic gaming at it's best.
But see, that's what CCP claimed Dust was pretty much going to be (at least in 1-2 years), nearly free-roam esque, with GIANT maps that effect the entire universe with what happens on those battlefields. But, as it stands now and has stood for over an entire year, it's just a standard shooter with small-medium maps that still is infected with poor mechanics and controls.

People act as if every new update is the final build. CCP have stated that **** gets real once the market between EVE and DUST is established and that's just one milestone. Given more time in the oven this game will shine. People are just short sighted, impatient and stupid.
Is 2 years of waiting still counted as being short sighted, impatient, and stupid? People have been saying "**** will get real once..." over and over again to no avail. Once the market between EVE and Dust is opened, SO WHAT? We can trade between EVE players, that's great & all, but still in no way creates a more immersive experience for the average dust player. What's needed for Dust is a completely new re-modeling and vision for what dust was SUPPOSED to be. Not this lobby shooter that we've been given to on a gilded platter. Each update should be signifigant, should have meaningful content, instead of small adjustments that apparently took 5+ months to figure out, with little to no new content at all. What exactly are the employees at shanghai doing? They need to be focusing all of their time & assets on each update as it comes.

Replying to the part you edited in: Why would GTA need support like EVE when Rockstar makes plenty of money from the many games they make every year. You got to realize Rockstars only game isnt gta. They have many different franchises that make plenty of money while CCP has two games one of which most likely makes little to no profit.
EvE makes plenty of profit. Plex, Plex, Plex, and more Plex.
