You had a vision.
You tried it on the PS3.
Clearly it failed.
You still have that vision but now are going to PC.
Fine, great, good for you guys. But for God's sake, don't try and say "Well, we'll still support PS3." when all you really wanna do is make Legion. Splitting your dev team will make what could be your vision, Legion, into Dust 514 2.0 (ie, a terrible game that you'll ditch for the one game you haven't completely ruined: EVE).
I can understand if no one from CCP is reading this thread now, but if you are - really honesty is the best policy here.
I imagine there is pressure to carefully 'blow on the embers' by implying there is some kind of real development in the future of Dust, so that you get some kind of financial return on it. However, I can only advise, that in the long term it will hurt the CCP brand to make such a move - I think you are well aware that info travels fast and is not easily forgotten these days.
I don't believe you have the kind of financial 'robustness' that companies like EA does, to just bulldoze through bad press and illwill.
It makes sense that you would want to try and expand beyond EVE and not every attempt will have success - just be honest about failures and try not to burn too many bridges along the way.

The cold, hard truth, is that the PS3 was NEVER going to be good enough for what they were promising us. I knew it, and thousands of others knew it. Only the people in denial in this thread kept denying reality.
This is the first news in months that made me respect CCP some. They can easily port Legion to the PS4 and actually get work done. I left back in Uprising because of the mouse issues, but this may make me play again.
Thanks CCP, for making a game I might actually want to play.
You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd, and that's what Dust 514 is.
These are fair points, but what did CCP know and when? A lot of what of what was promoted for DUST is now for Legion it seems - when did that decision occur? Maybe I missed something but until now there was rather positive reinforcement that things like player market and PVE would come to DUST eventually.
There is such a thing as expectation management and I'm not sure it was demonstrated in an entirely favourable way.
At this point, one could be inclined to believe that the reason DUST was brought out of beta in the state it was in, was precisely because they knew it wasn't going anywhere, and needed to make some kind of return...
I'm saying that is what I believe, but the way this was handled - no one can exactly trust what CCP is doing or where it is going with what product.
