You realize they have been in the red since 2012 right? That being said it is a factor as to why CCP will never see another dime from me no matter how good of a game they can come up with lol All the more reason to push for profits. Cutting the game's development on PS3 is a logical choice. The game has nowhere to go on such a low spec'd system. Only so much they can do, which turns into only so much profit they can make due to lack of content pushing sales. F2P games rely heavily on new content to keep consumers interested. PC is almost limitless. The potential for content means potential for more profit. PC is almost limitless, except the artificial limit that CCP themselves decide to set and they WILL set one. They've been holding EVE back for years graphically because they are worried some older machines won't be able to keep up and they will lose a chunk of their fanbase. Apparently somebody at CCP is too stupid to understand the concept behind a graphics slider.
Its not just a graphics slider it is the simple fact that you now have to create multiple assets for that type of tech. Assets used in Shader Model 2 are not down scalable to shader model 1 or before shader model 1. Also CCP has done cut offs before typically when the clients effected are about 1%
SM3 is next on the chopping block making DX11 compatible cards the new minimal requirement.

You only show us that you still blatantly care enough otherwise why would you even come back here to the dust forums. GTFO. To make fun and laugh at people still playing DUST  I'm not even a Destiny fanboy... not by a long shot! There's been no game in recent times where I've gone batshit fanboy over... but yea, coming here puts a smile to my face. Watching all the little DUST fanboys whiteknight the game and CCP. fyi - Destiny sucks. Warframe does it all, but is actually innovative. Destiny is like FF:ARR - nothing special. But unlike FF:ARR who has a powerful branding - Destiny is just another crap FPS game that lies about it's MMO side. 4 people multiplayer MMO's ftw? LOLno.
Kotaku called the destiny boring.

Well if we're going by what the press says...wonder what they saying about DUST 
Kotaku said Dust 514 fell short of its goals but was one of the more creative endeavours in the market breaking away from the getting old quick cash cows of COD and WoW clones.
Also people are already calling Destiny a borderlands clone which is rather disheartening as those games without other people typically get boring very fast.

I'll hope Beta has something more or else this will be the biggest, over-hyped carbon copy of a game I've ever seen.  I'm not trying to defend Destiny...but what FPS (successful) game isn't a "carbon copy" of another? Look at BF Hardline for example...it's BF4 reskined...BF in general is a big rehash and probably taking steps backward. CoD? lol...same engine for over a decade. You think DUST gameplay or otherwise is ground breaking? If you do... 
I am still waiting for the day for when you can ask your buddies in world of warplanes to harass some tanks on the ground in your world of tanks game? Or maybe bring your AA tank and shoot any would be heros of the match down.

Gemini Cuspid wrote:It was already commented during the initial Alpha testing as to what would would be entailed for the Alpha and Beta tests. At some level the Alpha was restricted to figuring out bugs, glitches and persistent coding errors from what I understand. When those are addressed then its basically to ensure the servers can handle as much a live test as possible then any adjustments needed are made before launch.
The storyline, majority of the co-op play and competitive play were taken out. If the game were to be judged on Alpha versus the current state of Dust, the polish seems to be in Destiny's favor. I get the idea of people wanting to be "wowed" by an Alpha test but I also find it ironically funny that they feel they need to sample the whole game to make a decision at an Alpha test. Hate to wave the flag and say "it's an Alpha launch so don't panic" but really, it is being paraded as an Alpha test and nothing more now. If someone thinks a game is crappy because they fail to get a whole game experience versus a mini "guided tour" of the game for Alpha testing, then there isn't a game that will make them happy a tall.
There are interesting points in what gets fixed between alpha's to launch. However in today's industry a what they refer to an alpha is technically what most of the pc gamers would call a beta. Take BF4's beta for example, a scale done so small that all the network issues still plaguing the game to even this DAY still are not resolved yet. Problems that never surfaced during the beta for most of the press reviewers. Right now there are quite a few people saying meh and are pointing fingers at the division as a mmo shooter done right.
