Starting 2015 with a title that will be losing money isn't exactly a sound business move after posting a significant loss in 2014 with the WoD debacle.

Is there data on Aurum sales or is this your personal speculation? I thought CCP didn't share that kind of information. I'm sure forum users are unlikely to spend more on the game at this point but The majority of players likely don't check the forums and are still in the dark. But that said, yes, it doesn't look good as far as Dust being kept alive past this year.

Speaking of which, and getting back to CCP communication. I wonder if CCP will bother to post something in the login screen (where we have event info and stuff. They could even try to spin it as good news. It would be nice if CCP tried to be honest and open to all players, not just forum users. Lack of future content is kind of a big deal.

Moonracer2000 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 752	Posted - 2014.05.05 14:06:00 - [1] - Quote I come to this forum to stay updated on Dust, but Devs only seem to want to discuss Legion now. Is this going to end or should I just stop logging in here? For those of us who still want to enjoy Dust while it is still running and populated. For those of us still trying to enjoy the money we spent on your product. Trying to convince friends and corp mates to keep logging in for good times. Can you stop avoiding questions about Dust? Maybe make a "Future of Dust 514" sticky? Please and Thank You!

Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 4367	Posted - 2014.05.05 14:12:00 - [3] - Quote I strongly doubt anything that they say about Dust could improve their standing with the players at this point. At best they're going to have to wait for the shitstorm to settle. Markdown:

Maybe make a "Future of Dust 514" sticky? Please and Thank You! Communication is not going great at the moment, Moonracer. I think the sad truth of the matter is Dust will be at best "maintained" with no actual content. Since Legion isn't even in Alpha I don't think, it looks like: Dust becomes stagnant (servers shut down whenever population drops enough - perhaps sooner rather than later considering the flushing noise that would accompany AUR sales at this point). Legion doesn't even go to beta (if it is confirmed) for another year or two. Dren&Templar Tragedy.
We are 138 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 548	Posted - 2014.05.05 15:21:00 - [8] - Quote I would also like to know what is in the future of dust. If I had to guess every one is still trying to get their head together after fanfeast as I'm sure that crap was crazy. But I think we deserve to know what the time line looks like, this month the next three months and six months. Character transfer! Well that changes a few things......
Mojo XXXIII Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 228	Posted - 2014.05.05 15:43:00 - [9] - Quote What about DUST?! What can we expect for support, and for how long?
Moonracer2000 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 764	Posted - 2014.05.05 23:36:00 - [10] - Quote In addition to content/patches, I'm curious if they will continue to have monthly events (at least for a while). I thought that was a pretty effective way of keeping the game interesting. Sadly I expect that to end as well.

One Eyed King Land of the BIind 1419	Posted - 2014.05.05 23:42:00 - [11] - Quote I don't know that they know what they have in store for Dust in the future. I am guessing its not much because they probably won't have lots of manpower, although in one post (can't remember where), they talked about matchmaking, bug fixing etc.

I've been here for 2 years, I can wait a few weeks. I 'support' EVE:Legion. Since the PS4 is just a dream, make it easy to sell our characters and our Beta access...

J'Jor Da'Wg Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 996	Posted - 2014.05.06 00:14:00 - [16] - Quote You can expect absolutely nothing because development on DUST is basically done. Bug fixes and maybe some rebalancing is all there is to come. DUST is, according to CCP, in its final form and includes all content that will ever come to the game. PVE, Market, PC 2.0, anything new will be coming to Legion if it ever gets off the ground. "Keep buying boosters though" - CCP

As much as I'd love to believe that CCP would have a change of heart or there was some wild miscommunication, I highly doubt we will get any new content. But from a business point of view it feels like CCP shot themselves in the foot. They could have made a soft reveal, stated that development would be cut but still continue to some minimal degree. Then say "look, we are going to take the next six months with a skeleton crew and work on a final content patch. We can't promise anything but we will try our best to round off the edges as much as possible. After that expect only balance patches." They could have kept minimal support and milked the game for more money a lot longer. I suppose we can applaud them for not doing this.

I think though that the development team was cut in half and it wont receive major updates until after they feel good enough where Legion is in a alright spot. "He said he has a alt in STB." "Everyone has a alt in STB."
Mojo XXXIII Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 311	Posted - 2014.05.07 10:30:00 - [19] - Quote Future plans for Dust: Crank the morphine drip, pop in once a day to change the bedpan, and wait for it to die in its sleep.

Not everyone visits the forums, true, but many do talk to each other in-game, or in the lobby chat, on other third-party forums, and even - dare I say it- face-to-face in person gasp! (madness, I know) Word is spreading and, as it does, I'm sure Aurum sales will decrease along with it. It's only a matter of time.

And if you ever use squad finder like chat roulette to hop around, you discover there are a LOT of clueless Dust players :P I feel a little sorry for them.

IGÇÖve been watching a lot of streams, and forumreading my eyeballs to a pulp. A plain ansfer would be nice, or do we have to wait "a few weeks". Originally CCP stated that there were only going to be a few small tweaks on their end, and that would be it, but it's starting to seem that they might be backpeddaling just a little in the face of the recent forum backlash. I guess they realized, in hindsight, that burning their bridges with Legion so early in development was probably not such a good idea. Even so, with the majority of their efforts being focussed on their new baby, I wouldn't expect anything significant or frequent for Dust at this point. Probably just enough to try to keep any more players from walking away altogether and maybe, just maybe, trick a couple of suckers to give them some more money.

Beast Beastlington Bragian Order Amarr Empire 276	Posted - 2014.05.08 11:43:00 - [31] - Quote Here's the update you need. You can pretend there's a blue "dev" tag beside my picture. Dust is dead. It was a massive money hole from day one because we failed at our objective of creating a game that was even close in quality to the most popular games in the genre. CCP cannot afford to burn money on a project with an ailing player base on a console that is declining. The end.
