The game isn't going anywhere. CCP will use EVE revenue to keep building the game up until it's absolutely not financially feasible to do so. However, I dare say CCP is doing just fine off of DUST 514. I also dare say the old saying that 80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your customers rings true here. Just about every random I have squaded with uses boosters.
Some people won't be able to handle the work in progress nature of the game and will leave because they want it finished NOW which is unfortunate because that goes completely against the premise laid down by CCP on May 14th when they launched the game when they said that it was just the beginning of development. More people will take their place as word of mouth spreads the new advances of the game by those who stuck it out and stayed in the game.
It's been a rough 6 months internally at CCP with clearly a lot of staff changes, in particular an EP who wasn't able to deliver. People who can manage their expectations should probably wait till FF to start standing on the street corner wailing "the end is nigh!"
PC sucks for sure and CCP's lack of response has screwed over the economy but I don't really feel too much of the blow back other than the odd pub or FW match where I come across a proto squad. For the most part I'm still enjoying my time in game despite the bugs. I think I'm A LOT more laid back than most people here; I'm a visionary type myself, more interested in the big picture/end result than the necessity for everything to be perfect right now because I know that making anything massive and worthwhile isn't going to be done over night...just like Rome.
I'm going to wait till Fanfest, see if the communication improves, see what Rogue has to say and see what the evolution entails. Till then I'm going to enjoy playing with my friends, being a Matari and levelling up my precioussssss COVERT SUBTERFUGE pride n joy into a scout badass.  I can understand other people's frustrations, I just don't sweat the small stuff over obstacles that lay before the grand design...

Only way I see people here staying with Dust is if we get whatever this "evolutionary" thing is during the summer or close to Destiny's release. And it'll be interesting to see how CCP plans to actually get new players if most people that are interested in the idea of an MMO-FPS are busy with Destiny. When Planetside 2 comes out dust will die for good fact destiny will kill it as well
GTAV was supposed to kill DUST 514 from what I remember some people here saying.
