Once 2016 comes, or once the playerbase falls to unsatisfactory levels, Dust 514 will be shut down.
The End. Dust 514 is over. EVE: Legion is it's reincarnation.
Pretty much. The PS3 market was already dying as soon as the PS4 came out. In just 2 years from now, the PS3 will become just like the N64, Dreamcast, Sega Genesis, original Xbox, and the PS1+2. Outmoded pieces of equipment left behind by the very market forces that made them famous in the first place.
This is why the PC is preferable because a single PC can endure practically for as long as 10 years before ever needing to upgrade a single component. Of course, a gaming PC rig can cost up to $1,000 but that $1,000 rig can last you almost 10 years due to the way how PC games are developed. A console usually lasts up to 5 years on average and can cost as much as $500 every time a next gen console comes out.
And I don't know if you noticed, but console prices fluctuate like crazy. Just take a look at this article posted by Kotaku.

I know they said character progress will transfer, but not everyone who has a console has a PC that can handle gaming, and many of them don't want to game on PC.
Actually we all knew from the start that Dust will eventually end up on the PC as well.

Which now, in hindsight, seems like the first major mistake CCP did.

This is their attempt to really do what they had planned for dust but couldnt
Plans-They will keep dust actrive but in the spare of their time they will work on legion as a seperate game and if they continue with it, they will keep both of them up and running.
they do intend to bring all of these games together
-eve valkyrie
-eve online
-eve legion
-eve dust 514
Simply put they want a dust 514 on PC along with ps3. that and they want to broaden their horizon and the worlds horizon on gaming and connecting thru multiple games.
In retro spec, they are noble in their cause for wanting legion and they will not be shuitting down dust 514.
Hopefully CCp will sticky this for people to see cause no one really explained their intentions CCP wants all that stuff integrated on one platform. CCP also wants to charge a subscription fee for all those versions of EVE. Munch
Subscription fee? For Legion? Evidence please.
