If they don't move forward with Legion then Mercs on the Ground is dead in the water. DUST has no future, it is technically impossible for them to achieve the dream on this system under the watch of Sony. It will never happen, and they have already admitted to it.
So, either Legion is a go, or the entire idea gets scrapped.
DUST is dead either way.

DUST is dead either way. I agree, although that doesn't seem to be how they see it: Sean Decker wrote:...if Legion does well, great, weGÇÖll continue to invest in it. If it doesnGÇÖt, weGÇÖll open up some beers, have some fun and say, "'Ok, that was fun, letGÇÖs do something different now and go again.'" http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/3/5677566/Dust-514-project-legion-reactionThis isn't the type of confidence I like to see.
They're just playing politics to give DUSTies some hope. I actually see that same comment as being very confident. Confident in their ability to get right back on the horse should they fall off.
All I know is that DUST can never be much more than it is now, and Legion is the only logical next step forward.

All I know is that DUST can never be much more than it is now, and Legion is the only logical next step forward. I know, I agree with you. Dust is finished and is never coming back. But when you just announce a new game that is essentially cancelling out the current one, I don't like to hear someone say "hey this might not work either." Although I also see your interpretation of it. My point is that clearly they are focusing on Legion, but they just seem afraid to admit it. Sure maybe it doesn't become a commercial product, but it's still the teams primary focus, be confident about it.
I agree. I think they're kind of nervous right now after the **** storm that ensued after the reveal.
I just hope they throw themselves into Legion completely, because that's the only way the original vision of DUST will become a reality.

The original vision was to connect a PC game to a console game. That is what got them gaming media attention and free advertising when most mainstream gaming sights usually ignore CCP unless some giant battle happens in Eve. With Legion CCP is admitting it failed in that vision, but I'm sure CCP is happy about all the coverage they foot that allowed them to scam more of us.
I guess we were sold on different visions.
I never gave a single crap about this game being on console. I care about persistence, about connection to EVE, about exploring planets and making a difference in New Eden. I care about having a gorgeous environment and high frames per second. I care about massive battles.
Console or PC, I do not care: I just want that vision realized.

Console or PC, I do not care: I just want that vision realized. We (console users) are just as upset as the PC users were when they found out that this was coming to the PS3, only more so having spent time and money on Dust itself. I get where you are coming from, but I can't for the life of me see how you can so easily put aside the fact that a lot of people spent a lot of time and money on THIS version on THIS console, both under the premise that CCP was committed to it in the short to mid term. Now it is not only obvious they are not committed, but that they KNEW they were moving on months ago, and continued the charade. Stop being myopic and look at the whole picture from not just your perspective, but of those that have been blindsided and are righteously angry.
I'm one of those people who put money (not a lot, $90, but still) and two years of my life into. I understand why people are upset, and as I've voiced time and time again in the past day, the REAL problem with all of this is CCPs approach and lack of communication on the subject.
I for one have always felt that the PS3 was holding this game back, that it would NEVER achieve the vision that was presented to us, so I personally anticipated something along these lines quite some time ago, and adjusted accordingly.
I'm not telling anyone to not be pissed, they have every right to be. I'm just saying I'm excited that for once, "DUST" has a chance to be what it was once envisioned to be.
