Yes, have the CPM resign for doing what they were expected to do. That sounds like a grand idea.

"Yes men" isn't how I would describe them. They did try to tell CCP not to announce EVE: Legion at Fanfest.

What else could they legally do?

Well CCP would understand the gravity of their mistake, and the player base would have known something was up and stopped wasting our money on this piece of abondonware
If I was a CPM member, I would be thinking to myself "I gotta convince CCP to announce EVE: Legion before Fanfest". I wouldn't be thinking "I'll sabotage CCP by resigning", and I'm sure most other people would feel the same way if they were CPM members. And "abandonware" is a misleading term; the only thing CCP is abandoning is the PS3.

If the CPM where so powerless to stop this, then what the hell was their purpose in the first place? Better to resign that be the embarrassment they ended up being.
Who is to say the CPM didn't want EVE: Legion? I'm pretty sure most of them did want EVE: Legion.

Why? Because they actually care about Dust 514's future and don't share your selfish opinion?
Yeah, gee, that's a great reason to force them to resign.

Do you need a history lesson? The entire point of Dust on consoles as opposed to PC was a new player base, tapping into the gamers who are intrigued by stories from EVE but too intimidated/not dedicated enough to play it. It was a way for them to have an impact in the virtual universe of EVE without watering down EVE so they could play that. This move is purely for EVE players. Legion will become just another expansion for EVE in 3-4 years when it actually comes out. Legion isn't a step towards the vision of dust, its a betrayal of the entire point of dust in the first place. Who was the CPM? PC gamers who couldn't represent that vision or keep CCP focused on it. They failed their job and don't deserve apologies. It's not my selfish opinion or ego at stake here, it's the soul of Dust thats been killed to appease EVE players who don't understand how brilliant the original idea of dust was.
It doesn't matter what the original intention of Dust 514 was. The fact is that moving Dust/Legion to the PC is the best thing CCP could have done for it. Console gamers might not like this, but them's the facts.
