So... I've had a good ol time trolling the forums the last few days but I do want to say. To all console-only players out there that are troubled by the lack of planned PS4 support, I feel your pain and understand your rage. This is probably one of the most invested playerbases i've ever seen in a game, and is probably the reason I continue to come back, despite hating almost every facet of this game at the moment.
I think we can all agree that in true CCP Shanghai fashion, the information revealed at Fanfest this year was done in the worst possible way imaginable. But lets look at the situation a little more closely...
I want to link a specific portion of the CCP Presents! keynote that happened earlier today. Specifically the portion where the CTO unveils a new project called 'EVE Universe Services'. Its essentially a login engine very similar to what blizzard has done with Battle.net's launcher. The primary thing to take home from this is that they want to unify each game under the same characters. This means I could play EVE, Valkyrie, and Dust all as ZDub 303 instead of making three separate accounts. Its a neat feature, not necessary though. The idea is though, that they want to integrate all three games completely.

Next, is similar sentiments echoed by Hilmar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tErlLutsSNE&list=WLb11ZspzcDBjR7dxo8A_Jsw#t=90
He essentially states that the company is unifying all of its assets under New Eden, and on the PC.
So lets think about this for a moment. Regardless of WHY it is, we all know CCP went deep in the red for 2013. We suspect that a lot of that has to do with R&D costs for Valkyrie and WoD. I, personally, think this probably raised some serious red flags though. "Holy ****, we are hemorrhaging money on assets and we need to make sure these investments make sense in the long term."
While CCP Rouge is claiming that the transition is completely his idea.. I suspect it goes a lot deeper than that. It seems like CCP as a whole is a little worried about the state of their company and in today's economy you can't afford to throw millions after bad.
We can see that Valkyrie started on the PC and is moving quickly, through a partnership with project Morpheus onto the PS4. However... Dust/Legion is in damage control. I agree wholeheartedly with IWS when he said Dust died May 14th 2013 and has been on life support for the last 366 days. This game needs some drastic measures taken for it to become relevant, and they have all but admitted at Fanfest that the PS3 will not allow them to create the game that we all want Dust to be.
So I ask you, community of Dust 514, this question:
Would you rather Dust 514 was cancelled like World of Darkness, or moved to the PC with a possibility of moving to the PS4 once the game, and the dev team, is ready for it?

CCP has proven they are terrible at making play station or console games.
They will tap into the same money they are getting now from eve players, old men who play PC games. It's a vastly smaller market, it's also a vastly older market but with more money to play, as well as the stupidity to play a subscription based game. The perfect people to sell to.
CCP would have been wise to drop ps3 for ps4, console gamers do not play PC games. The cross offer is very small. Dust failed cause CCP was a crappy developer, it can only be expected the same would have been true on the ps4. Maybe they did us a favor by going PC, but either way the way it was handled was despicable. The lies, the money grabbing, and the 0% chance anything you did in dust will matter. 2 years of gaming gone. Good thing i didn't spend a dime. |

Obviously it was a really smart move on their part. Awesome job laying it out for people clearly and concisely.
Unfortunately, the majority of this community (and I'm gonna be very condescending on purpose here as this was proven with direct evidence) is filled with irrational people who don't listen to reason, understand economics, and who will just go "NO **** YOU CCP YOU BETRAYED ME! THERE'S NO POINT TO MY LIFE ANYMORE!" regardless what you tell them. It's like trying to argue with a Young Earth Creationist or someone from the Westboro Baptist Church.

I will never support this kind of behavior on any gaming community.
If anyone ask me or will want info i just gave him this for some interesting reading.
Never put trust in this company, they will just lied, misslead you and their infamous "layer focus" will be just for your ideas and money, what they'll use on something by their decision, like thei did ith our ideas and community money on pc port of dust514.
NEVER I BEG YOU BOYOS, NEVER PUT TRUST AND MONEY ON COMPANY LIKE CCP.
Becasue scamm from their side is everytime just damn close near!!

I would rather see it cancelled and know CCP felt the pain that we have collectively felt instead of essentially saying:
Well, thanks for your support, it will help us greatly as we move on in the future. Unfortunately, many of you may no longer be able to, or willing to, follow us in the future. We understand why, we just don't care, because are solely concerned with ourselves and your thoughts and feelings on the matter are largely immaterial, as we are going to do what we want regardless.
At least that is how I have taken their collective words and actions, particularly those culminating in the last few days.

Oddly, Valkyrie is going to be on the PS4, so yea....
I think Legion will be on it too, and EVe will remain on the PC only. I don't care, because I have both
