I can't help but compare this Legion business to the FFXIV debacle and relaunch. After 1.0 came out, and it became more and more obvious that the fanbase was frustrated with the game, Square transferred directorship to a new talent, shut the whole game down, and relaunched. Naoki Yoshida - the new FFXIV director - was and is very open with the fanbase about where 1.0 went wrong, and what he intended to do to fix it. He demanded that everyone working on the project play other successful MMOs, and even today, you get the feeling that the FFXIV devs actually enjoy playing their game. (Can the same really be said for Dust?) Everything related to the relaunch was done under the atmosphere of reconciliation, which bought SE the good will it needed to keep the franchise afloat. Against all odds, the relaunch has been a massive success.
I don't know that CCP has the public relations skill to pull a similar act. There's no question that Rouge is not as charismatic as Yoshida. I've been away from the community for a while, but it never seemed like he wanted to be a front man for the game. But to just shut down and retool after such a failure (I have no doubt that Dust has not lived up to CCP's expectations, more or less the fans') takes a bit of explanation. Someone needs to walk the fans through the process to assure them that CCP has their interests at heart. |

I'm pretty sure any console player is happy to see that the game they alpha tested is going on a totally different platform.
Guinea Dust Bunnies are watching you, CCP Rouge.
