I'm done.

This was the first MMO that I got involved in. I had played plenty of MMOs, I just played alone, because I was never interested in making virtual friends. It always seemed pointless to me.

Without the aspect of being in a community leaving an MMO was always easy. I just quit playing. It was always very easy.

With Dust I fell in. I talked to people, I made friends, I shared lots of laughs, and lots of games.
I joined my first corp and migrated with players from that corp to another in my 2 year merc career.

I was always on the fence about getting into EVE: Online but I never have the time for two obsessions.
So I played Dust. Believed all the hype. Trusted the words of the staff about the plans for the future.

Before Fanfest I started getting into the meta of Dust a bit. Loved talking trash and trying to route loyalties against DNS. It was a lot of fun.

Couldn't wait for fanfest. Had the live stream qued up. (I watched as it happened.) I luckily I did not pay for the HD stream.
I was so excited to hear news of PVE, the player market, new vehicles, PC fixes, all of it! I was pumped. Then the slap to the face. Jean Charles Gaudechon made a mockery of this entire community. Shrugged it off. Carried on his merry way. In all my years I have never seen an executive with so little care for his customer base. The backpedaling and promising that characters can eventually cross over can only be seen as more empty promises. It could also be seen as a knee jerk reaction to the backlash, that CCP admittedly knew was coming. It'll have to do for now, until all the bad publicity blows over...right? I have a gaming PC and I was thoroughly insulted.

I felt bad for other players. Players that invested in a lot more than I did. Players that bought it all. Players that made fan Youtube videos, websites, charts and graphs and updated information more than the developers did.

It was clear message to console gamers. "CCP does not want you here." This message will be gladly returned from the console community when Valkyrie comes to the PS4.

Ultimately CCP through the mistreatment of their fans have shown me that being "involved" with a game is a terrible idea.

I just feel sad that I wasted time with it. Thanks. Glad it was easy to shrug us off CCP.

So congrats to CCP you helped create a gamer that will never buy a CCP product ever again and will gladly tell other consumers to avoid your products.
