mag stole 40 dollars from me, I bought that from the store when it was new got an extra character slot played it for 6 monthes, that never played it again, I heard it shut down 2 years later, I believe the money was stolen from me as well.

You attempt to discredit the OP has failed due to a terrible choice of analogy.

oh why's that?

also not really discrediting giving my opinion some may believe they have had their money stolen, but the end of the day I get more play value out of every dollar with dust then I get with any triple A title I buy.

dust will be around for another 2 years, and it will never be supported by it's devs again like mag, the shoe seems to fit to me.

MAG was never pitched as a long term decade-spanning product. No one from Sony or Zipper told you they were laser focused on continuing work on the PS3 while in fact worked on porting the same game to PC (oops, it has a different name so it's not the same game Lol

) and ending that long term plan, but still happily charged you for game-currency under the impression that the long term plan was still there.

If you only bought into Dust for the lobby shooter than sure it may not feel like your money got stolen, but for all of us who were promised the meaningful sandbox connected to EVE Online, only to be told that that is actually going to be a completely separate game with a separate progression, then yeah it feels like our money (and time) was spent on nothing.

Nobody said mag wouldn't be around for years, they were updating it regularly, they even had an expansion so at least for the first year their were no signs of it dieing. now most mmo's are like this, it's hoped that they will be around for decades like WOW or DDO or what not, but most don't come out and say it, now CCP developed this game so that it would take 10 years to cap your skills, meaning at the time they really did believe that the game would be around for 10 years, we call that being cocky. the sandbox connection to eve is not going to happen, it doesn't look like it will even happen in legion, by this point it's pretty obvious CCP doesn't even know how to accomplish it or what accomplishing it even means, sorry but you bet on the wrong horse if this was the only reason you were playing dust, I on the other hand paid for dust based on what it CURRENTLY was and what it could be, the emphasis being on what it is more then what it could be. morale of the story don't spend money on promises spend money on what actually is, stay the fck away from kick starter as well...has nothing to do with this but I don't think you'd have good experiences with it.
