Oh, CCP. You dun goofed bad with how Legion was revealed. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic and sad. Here is what happened to those that are confused:
- Rouge was locked in a closet in quite a long period of time. No posts on the forums, no dev blogs about him other than the basic introduction, he was really behind the scenes and we had no idea what he was working on, though we now know that was Legion. - Shoot forward several months and there is an interview between Saberwing and Rouge. Very, very basic stuff talked about. "How's the city?", "Are you excited for FanFest?", simple stuff that just is about showing that Rouge is human. There was a joke about CONCORD cutting the feed because Rouge started talking about stuff what was secret until FanFest.
- Hey, now it is FanFest. "DUST 514" keynote mentions the entirely different game, Project Legion. And then it ended after less than 24 minutes. Apparently, CCP Rouge was under the impression that A) The panel discussion was going to be streamed and B) He was going to lead the panel discussion. Neither were true. This was the start of the entire communication SNAFU that we find ourselves in now. Apparently, Rouge is pissed at this.
- It is one of the filler moments on EVE TV were they are chatting. Rouge is there, he looks completely out of place. It gets to be his turn to speak and he says "I just want to talk about Project Legion and DUST 514. The important th-" and the god damn stream cut off... For quite a while. Of course, it comes back in time to have another person state "that is some good news" and then they went on to talk about the upcoming panel. Twitch chat was wondering if it was a joke or a troll.
- When Rouge does get to speak, it is for three whole minutes as what was clearly a last second addition on the CCP keynote. To say that it was a cup of water when the entire house is on fire is an understatement. I was watching everything live (big damn nerd): when he came out at for the CCP keynote, it looked more like Hilmar was saying "get your ass out here and do damage control" rather than actual information. "We hope we can transfer", "where applicable", great language for calming all of those that spent 20 dollars on an HD stream...
This is where he have the very interesting problem. Most people at FanFest are totally cool and calm about Legion because they had the benefit of information. The keynote was 24 minutes long but than they ran right into the panel and asked things like "what the hell is going to happen to my character?", "what is Legion?", "when is Legion?", "how long has this been going on?" For us watching at home, we are left alone, in the dark with nothing to do but get more and more angry.
If there really is going to be another interview with Rouge, where actual information is going to be brought up, don't be surprised if a Fresnel lantern falls on his head as he beings to speak.

Like I said, I think Universe/God/Hilmar doesn't want Rouge to speak.
Anyway, how is CCP going to rectify this lack of information? Hint: How about all at once without ambiguity?

BTW why everybody is saying it costs 20 bucks to see the livestream.
Thats not correct. On VOD were like for 20 bucks.
I stated 20 dollar HD stream.
But the reason are talking about it is because it is another nickle and dime in regards to DUST. I got the HD stream mostly for DUST. If I had gotten it ONLY for DUST...
