Our holy savior Rattati probably can't turn CCP into a functioning company and make it communicate its mid-term plans to its customers single-handedly, but in his position he has every interest to communicate where Dust is heading.
If we're supposed to spend money on Dust we need to know what the state of affairs is going to be in 6-12 months time - and for that we'll need a commitment that hopefully doesn't contain the expression "laser focused". If we want any words from CCP regarding the future, I guess that is the best avenue to make them say something.
Personally, my money is on Legion being scrapped, its assets being deleted (no more RAM on that PS3, sorry) and then all future efforts directed towards Eve and Valkyrie until the latter is scrapped too. I can't make an estimate on how long Rattati can make them keep the Dust servers up. I honestly have no idea whether Dust in it's current form is profitable at all. |

That isn't an investment, of course. In this case however we're buying digital products that are being supplied to us as a service. Now we're talking about an investment. Spend money now, receive service later. Depending on the money-to-service rate that we as customers find acceptable we need to worry about the mid-term future of the game to make judgments on whether we want to invest. These new BPOs are really pulling this issues to the surface.
If I was very certain that this game still exists in 2 years time I'd have no trouble spending comparatively much money on Dust. As it is I have to consider the possibility that CCP announces the end of Dust in the near future and that I won't get my money's worth. |

... Well, at least the ones about no more new assets in Dust ... |
