I can see both sides of the argument. The company could be fearful that if they reveal it is no longer being developed, then what is left in dust will turn into exactly that dust, because no one at all will be playing anymore due to anger.
I can also see the players standpoint, after getting railroaded at fanfest, the players and even most ardent fanboys no longer trust CCP. As a result, they want more openness. A simple yes or no, would suffice for most players. It is pointless to ask the CPMs about it either, as they have signed NDAs.
I have previously warned folks that CCP is just like EA, Activision, Bungie, Rockstar, etc. They are a developer and their sole goal is to make money. Some of you folks really painted a picture of them as rainbows and sugar plum fairies in your minds prior to the whole fan fest debacle.
Welcome to the real world.
At this point however, it WILL hurt ccp to say either way. Thats the problem. The Rouge wedding was done so disaterously bad, that coming out now and saying 'yea guys sorry, but legion is dead' will make ccp look even more rediculous. The backlash fomr the people who stayed and were looking farward to legion will be huge. You wll then have people who maybe gave ccp money in hopes it will help fund legion now wanting a refund.
At the same time, if they say legion is a go, thish could have the potential of making people who may be willing to play dust and give it money more discouraged. Add into the fact that if say in a year or two they pull the plug anyway, they just shot themselves in the foot.
It is much better to wait, have legion at a really good state, so that they have stuff that can get the base excited, which will drive players to keep playing dust and prepaire, OR wait for dust to restabliaze and have a strong base then announce pulling the plug on legion.
CCP is a company, money is the important thing, they need money to make legion, they screwed up once, i doubt they will do that again, which is why they are quite. Either they are waititng till soemthing more solid is availble we can see, or they are waiting till dust is stable to kill legion. I lean towrds the former |

"Hey guys! We are making Legion! It is supposed to be what DUST was meant to be all along! It will be on the PC!"
* "Wait a minute... Does that mean that you can't get DUST to be DUST and are stopping development?"
"No! DUST will just be different. It will be a lobby shooter."
* "So you are bait and switching us. We put money into DUST 514 on the PS3 because you said it was going to be, well, DUST 514. Now you tell us we are playing the wrong game?"
"Don't worry. Your investment will transfer!"
* "What does that mean?"
"*silence for 6 months.*"
So we go crazy. We hate Legion because we are made at CCP for moving the goal post. So now CCP can look at it and go "I guess they don't want Legion" when we do want Legion; we just don't want CCP to handle information release and DUST as poorly as they have.
We need Legion because CCP already said "we can't do it on PS3." That right there should be reason enough for the game to be green light and have everything transfer. Just call it DUST 514 rather than EVE: Legion. And onto the platform it should've started with: PC , development wise it'll be the best way to go. True enough but there is the consideration that we are abandoning the console playerbase that Dust 514 had established, which was a major concern when the Legion announcement came. Yes I remember, problem is if CCP decides to also put it on the ps4 Legion will only go as far as the hardware on the ps4 and Sony will let it. And I see that it is unfair to abandon the console only people from the Dust playerbase.
Honestly, i think ccp had issues with sony, which is why they are movign away from PS to PC. And its easier to control on the same platform. |

Sony and CCP have a great relationship. If CCP had issues with Sony, their next game project wouldn't also be in partnership with Sony. o_o Valkyrie is meant for both PC and PS4 release.
still doesn;t mean they did not have issues.
Issues could be simply that they could not get the updates out fast enough or the way they wanted, or they have hit a snag trying to link the two properly.
But you'd know better then me so shrugs |

You clearly are also not a Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones fan hehe |
