Though I am not in rage or grief about what took place at Fanfest, I guess I can imagine how many of us must feel. Some feel:
...All this time we were being lab-researched on the cheap, to build the core of a game in an expendable platform environement, so that that core can be taken to the profitable platform when the devs have got it stable and ready to turn a real profit...
Others might feel:
...The attitude of the new French team members at the Fanfest displayed a kind of walk-into-the-room attitude that, GÇÿconsole was always a froo-froo all-wrong idea...we should have known we couldnGÇÖt teach chimpanzees to read books and go to college... let the console primates go back into the tree limbs where they belong, and we will achieve our true goals in the cerebral, graphics-driven PC platform, where we EVE devs always belongedGÇÖ...
Hopefully, BOTH conclusions are prejudicially wrong.
 But I think something else is wrong too: Too many of us who claimed to love Dust 514 (a CONSOLE creation with a definite console personality), are only crying to retain their goodies and SP as they willingly transfer to a PC GÇ£LegionGÇ¥ game.
If we grumble loudly, but still follow the shepherd with his stick over to where he wants us to go, then we are SHEEP.
If you actually like Dust 514 (as I do), then you ought to be strongly requesting that its life and development MUST be continued, including some stronger more stable links with EVE Online, regardless of what new PC off-shoot game they may have GÇ£prototypedGÇ¥.
IGÇÖve seen this forum PETITITION some of the most under-valued aspects of Dust 514, and have surprising success. ShouldnGÇÖt we be petitioning to keep Dust 514 from being shelved like a blow-up sex doll?
If CCP GÇ£valuesGÇ¥ player feedback, and GÇ£thanks us for making their success possibleGÇ¥, and the Dust forum insists on completion of the current development instead of re-doing it with 3d trees and mushroom clouds in a froo-froo drama-artistGÇÖs PC painting,... the test will be on CCPGÇÖs GÇ£valueGÇ¥ of their players.
