Its already been greenlit. Simply announcing Legion brought about the death of Dust.

Vita app was announced too.

Basically, players were not told how big Legion was behind the scenes. Thus, we could not have known that it was more important than DUST to the developers but it being announced did basically kill DUST even if Legion wasn't completed. CCP just said "we can't do DUST 514, the promise we had, on the PS3." You can't unring that bell so if Legion was stopped, the game would be completely dead. Not just DUST 514 but the idea of "EVE connected shooter" would be dead.

This is correct.

As far as Legion goes, and what that would mean for DUST if we didn't get the green light (very unlikely at this stage, the team has been working really hard and doing well), I honestly don't know.

So you guys are working hard on something that you don't even have (for lack of better words) permission to make?

I don't mean to be rude, but who though that this would be a good idea to do?

CCP has made it very clear that they cannot do what they want to do on the PS3 and the only way to put out the game they want to put out is on PC. Let's accept this premise. CCP goes on to say that DUST 514 will continue to get updates but much of the focus is going into Legion. Accepting this as well. Based of those two things, we can assume that DUST 514 is basically going to be allowed to die so that Legion can be what DUST was supposed to be. This seems to be what is happening or at least what is being planned.

What happens if Legion is not green lit? What if it dies and is just said "we have decided to not proceed with Legion"? CCP used a third of FanFest to hype Legion and by proxy announce the passing of DUST 514. Google some of the Legion articles. They are all the same; "CCP is looking to learn from the mistakes of DUST 514." So what happens if Project Legion is stopped for whatever reason after all the fanfare about the new project and the lack of faith people now have in DUST (including the players of DUST)?

This is correct.
