People spent time and money on a game CCP had said was committed to the PS3.

They got a game that, just months after release, was secretly moving to the PC and weren't told about the facts for months.

Those two things are contradictory. They are not the same. No amount of wordsmithing can make them the same.

CCP made a commitment.

People spent money based on that commitment.

CCP reneged on that comittment.

End of story.

So you accuse me of "wordsmithing" but you believe that you've been scammed out of your money? I'm only doing what I have done since I arrived on these forums, speaking the truth and common sense.

So while I completely respect your post. Dust players are not forced to spend money at all. You guys chose to do that. You have access to all the same content but just didnt want to wait for it. I say this as an early Beta Dust player to now.

It's truly unfortunate. I don't think anybody read the quote in its entirety. All they reading is "you QQers need to stop QQing".

Strange, when you read the quote. He says something for my side of the argument and for theirs. No one sees that though because they blinded by negativity.

If you are paying for something you think will be around for years to come on a console, and you find out otherwise AFTER already having spent the money, you would be rightfully upset. People are not getting what they thought they were paying for (a game with a commitment to a playstation console). Stop trying to defend people who argue there is no reason to be angry. There are legitimate reasons for people to be upset.

So you buy a donut expecting the company to stay there for 5 years and if they go out of business in a week, you're entitled to get your money back because you bought the donut not to consume but to keep the business going? The items you bought by AUR were consumed. You got what you paid for. It didn't say in the PSN, "buying this will guarantee that Dust will continue its 10 year plan". That's an incorrect assumption on your part. I buy a donut expecting a donut. I expect the donut to be relatively fresh, and have the basic characteristics of a donut (sugary, doughy etc). If I am buying a donut, and have been told it is a donut, and am handed a bagel, then I have right to be upset. CCP stated they were laser focus on the PS3. Many people spent time and bought boosters because they believed they would be able to leverage those skill points in the future on the PS3, and logically the PS4. Likewise, people spent time on the game believing their was a commitment to the game, directly because of CCPs past statements. I am wondering if the parts of your brain that can empathize with others is working correctly, or if you are just a troll.

I would like to hear your common sense explanation of how that comment was innaccurate. Did CCP not state they were laser focused on the PS3? Did they not renege on that commitment? Did people not spend money on the game precisely because of that commitment?
