I'm always fascinated to read all about how you know more about Dust and Legion's future than "a high level manager." at CCP. [/sarcasm] I've never read a post of yours, Kal, that didn't display the sort of myopic distortion some people with some technical expertise so frequently display. You sound like you're good at what you do, but you didn't build Eve or Dust. I presume you won't be part of the team building Legion.
You are partially correct though, in that none of us really know what Legion will really wind up looking like. How could we? Its what? one, two..., maybe three years into the future, given how slowly Dust was developed and released?
We all knew the PS3 wasn't going to be hitched to a personal computer game forever. IMHO, all of the talk about Legion being a separate game from Dust514 looks blatantly driven by a legal advisor; i.e. CCP doesn't want Sony coming back someday and demanding a share of whatever profits they get out of Legion. It makes perfect sense that CCP would want a clean break from their agreements with Sony.
Is CCP Rougue in damage control mode? Sure. The community inferred all sorts of things from his "Dust" keynote. CCP has clarified, answering the two biggest questions regarding future patching and development of Dust514 and migration to Legion. I absolutely agree that it was boneheaded of them not to anticipate and answer those questions on the first day of fanfest, but I'm not terribly surprised that CCP would botch this aspect of the Legion announcement. Even talented geeks are human an prone to error, especially outside their area of expertise.

The cynic in me speculatively attributes this not to a temper tantrum thrown by players on the forums, but to a call to someone at CCP from someone at Sony asking, "Why are our shared customers demanding PSN refunds for false advertising? This is costing us money."
