I understand that CCP wants to reach the PC market. Makes sense. And that the PS3 won't support a 10-year development path.

But what makes me feel furious, scammed and violated is that CCP just launched 2 events in quick succession, selling expensive Omega boosters so mercs can get 3.000.000 SP over a weekend. Which means absolutely nothing when the game dies, except that CCP could make a bundle overnight. The must have known it so soon in advance. I don't blame them for not telling, but for shamelessly exploiting our trust.

Dusters stayed with the game because they had hope. They supported CCP's story of a long-term game, with genuine investment of time and/or money. We built a community, corpses, and provided uncountable hours of valuable input. All for naught, it seems.

I won't be supporting this game or any other game from CCP anymore. My fellow Dusters, all the best!

I could not have said it better myself. This has been the opinion I have been giving to friends since the announcement.

Nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to buy it. Bullshit. CCP gave us a grand vision and promised a 5 to 10 year development plan. They roared about Uprising 1.8 and new content, and sent out newsletters so we would buy more boosters - while they already made the decision that the PS3 would no longer be supported. That's misleading at best.

That's misleading at best. That doesn't refute a single point of mine. Even after Uprising 1.0, even after BPO removals, even after all the stupid stuff they've done, even after its been two years and they haven't delivered on their vision at all.... you still went and bought based on their promises. Yeah, CCP is a bunch of lying scumbags and they didn't deliver any of their promises.... Which is exactly why you should have never bought anything. You were duped, but you let yourself be duped. I haven't been duped, but many others have been. Especially if they started development on Legion already 6 months ago. CCP had a good track record on delivering on their promises and maintaining and expanding a game over a very long time. That's why many people believed their promises. You can't blame them, CCP has earned and then abused their trust.
