Been something I've been badgering the guys on Skype about. While I love the idea of Legion, it kind of angers me that we're pouring so much effort into a game that would be Dust 514 as it was intended (let alone without being green lit) and abandoning the game that is actually pulling revenue, at least as far as active development goes.

Considering the sheer lack of communication and status updates about Legion, I'm starting to get the impression that it didn't get green lit/is still up in the air... Which, I can't help but wonder what you do with an entire development team that went off to make a game without 100% authorization from the higher ups.

Do they drop Legion all together and essentially have wasted an entire year of development to come back to Dust 514?
Do they take the White Wolf - World of Darkness route and just fade away..?

Inquiring minds need to know where all the money is going from these BPOs that are suddenly being sold.

You do realize that CCP has said that no decision has been made about greenlighting a project that is still very much in Alpha stages, right? It's only been 5 months - games take much longer than that to get to a point where it is ready to be greenlit (not a year like you say).

The shift in course started in November when CCP Rouge signed on and Project Legion's development started. Do try to know what you're talking about before you stand at the podium, please.

As a grown man who does software development for a living I am blown away at how many self entitled whiners there are in the DUST community.

I've spent about $150 on this game and I have no regrets. I have no regrets because it's a game I play almost every day and I've derived hundreds if not thousands of hours of enjoyment from it.

CCP owes me nothing. I won't pout and whine and insist that CCP tell me what they are doing when the reality is that I didn't even pay enough money to cover one days wages for a developer.

Unless you commission the work and pay for the whole project, then CCP owes you nothing.

All you freeloaders who play this game everyday while refusing to pay because you "don't approve of the direction CCP is taking" are basically parasites.

For those few who invested significant amounts of money, I can understand that you are disappointed and I want to thank you for supporting the game, but those are the breaks and you should of understood that nothing is owed to you.

You misunderstand the entire point of this thread: We get it, you're defending CCP to the death and using the same rhetoric (herp derp CCP doesn't owe you self-entitled whiners anything). So, allow me to demonstrate in words you can understand:

If they don't show something worth paying for.... We don't pay. If we don't pay.... They're out of a job. If they're out of a job.... There isn't anything to show anyway. It's sound and logical reasoning on the consumers' part.

Who has more to lose here?
