DUST Search - Thoughts on EVE Legion & fate of Dust

I calmed down after the initial "Dust is being ported to PC" feeling of abandonment, I realized it was the right move.

We have to face it, it had to be Done. Dust 514 is a failure on PS3, and the PS3 is not only outdated, but also becoming irrelevant with the coming of nextgen consoles. Rebuilding Dust as EVE Legion on a more powerful platform where it can truly achieve its goals that we have all wanted.
EVE Valkyrie started off as a prototype on PC, but it will release on PS4 as well. Likewise it is very possible that this is the goal for EVE Legion as well; during the question segment of the progression presentation at Fanfest, CCP mentioned the possibility of Legion coming to nextgen consoles. It should be relatively easy to port legion from PC to PS4 given how PC-like the PS4 is, so I think there is a very good chance that 1 or 2 Fanfests from now we may see a Legion on PS4 announcement (I know its just speculation).

What CCP did wrong:

The Legion prototype should have been built on PS4, and not PC. If not that there should have been a statement indicating commitment and intentions to bring Legion to PS4. The Dust community consists of console gamers, and we deserve to know that the game we invested so much time, effort, and money into would have a future on consoles; I shouldn't have to completely switch my style of gaming just see the future of Dust.

There should have been a commitment or guarantee to making sure we will be able to transfer our Dust characters and our skill points to Legion.

If these 2 things happened, there would not be this panic on the forums.

Another disappointment that has been overshadowed by the EVE Legion thing is lack of item content shown. It would have softened the blow of the EVE Legion thing if we could say "well, at least we're getting those sweet new heavy weapon in Dust", or something. Last Fanfest brought us so many new toys, this one fails in this regard.

Console players will be console players, they will move onto PS4 and not PC. PC games are a secondary thing to the mega money developers put into Xbox and playstation. New gamers play consoles, they aren't going to go to PC they will just pick a different gsme.

I fully expect many things, but more than likely a player market and pve will not occur. You wouldn't want to confuse all the 35 year olds on eve to which game will be effecting their precious world.
