Not my position to promise anything. Promising never or will are two things I am simply not in that nature to do so. For me to say that Legion will never go to PS4 can turn out to be a flat out lie as saying legion will be going to ps4 will be just as much as of a lie. Both are lies and neither truths; safer to say things that are more encompassing and accommodating. The term next gen is most correct in this case for now all we know is only exclusive to the PC itself but the door will not remain shut.

Even then the possibility of Legion getting red lit is still there so that could just flush quite a few plans down the chute.

Cazderon brought up a good point in another thread as to why even Planetside 2 doesnt have the balls to cross play between their versions. Though i am sure if we could poke SOE brains a bit we can find out from them.

Digital Extremes' Warframe is attempting cross play their largest issue is synchronous versions. Currently the PS4 version is about a month to a week behind. However unlike PS2 the disparity between PC available controllers and expected PS4 controllers are nearly non issue in warframe where they would pose a significant issue in any real shooter such as BF, CoD, PS2, and Legion.

Also if you really want to know where your money is going by icelandic law there is that finances report floating about. Another sad truth of the industry that majority of a game's revenue never goes back into the game. Take your typical EA game; 12$ of every brand new 60$ EA game goes into games that never see launch day or press day even. EA cancels quite a few games they're not happy with or feel they will not meet ROI goals, large portion goes back into the advertising, finally the last bit goes into paying the original game development investment back and securing the next cash cow being crafted. SOE for example does NOT spend the entire subscription from ps2 back into planetside 2 instead it goes to other games and entirely unrelated developments usually. I mean where does the money for everquest next comes from? Its the nature of the business to keep funded regardless. Failure to go above break even means you're stuck with a dying mmo company on the simple grounds that you have no money to fund the next game.

Also if you really want a good backstab story; go read tiny co's apology for spellstorm's sudden cancellation of an event after the event was supposed to start that many people spent lots of pay to win money preparing ahead for; and all the extra new-ish things they promised to do has yet to materialize and this was some months ago. At least here we have a newly assigned developer he's highly involved with the community and the CPM to the point I have to get some real CPM work done tomorrow before he starts cracking the whip around the place.

I'll believe that Rattati is actually going to accomplish something when he does. Until then, negativity it is.

For now all I see is him collecting ideas. He's going about it a good way, but that means nothing considering he has a skeleton crew and in all likelihood will be able to do very little.

Did IWS just blame the community for not seeing the shut down coming?

It just gets better.

The first warning should have been the end of the monthly updates something I made crap ton of noise over citing it the end of the previous roadmap.

Sorry, my bad. He made FIVE pandering statements. I guess that's more than "a few." Otherwise exactly none of that is new information. Or remotely conciliatory. Or apologetic. Or in large part even answered the questions asked. I read every one of those messages before.

If you actually think anything you linked is in any way an actual rebuttal or refutation of what I said, you either have some serious problems with reading comprehension or are a hopeless apologist, completely blinded by fanboydom and can't see those statements for what they really are.
