I see a few possibilities:
They are getting sold/are willing to sell soon.
If this is the reality, then we, as supporters of the original vision of this game, and to the company as a whole, should wholeheartedly support the devs in showing their prospective purchasers "Hey guys, this game is REALLY profitable!"
They are milking us for corporate greed.
While this is a possibility, i don't see this as the most likely.
They are milking us to fund Legion(whether they ran out, or foresee a shortage)
This I wouldn't be opposed to, a company is a company, and it's not like they're putting paywalls in the game for us to spend 50 bucks on tearing down.
They are milking us to fund additional DUST development(full racial parity, optimizations, new maps/sockets)
This is my best case scenario, as this means we'll be wasting as little potential as possible. The PS3 is still a great system, it's just hard to code for. I mean, look at Crysis and various other games that i'm forgetting.
In the end, whatever they're going to do, I support CCP wholeheartedly, both as a company, and as the DEVs for the game that single-handedly turned me into a spreadsheet scanning closet nerd(I already was before, what with Mechwarrior and Armored Core and all, but that wasn't spreadsheet reading and constant theorycrafting)

And DUST always been p2w. Its a pay to win game with the play for free as an option.
LOL. Dude, you're a riot.
P2W? Tell me ONE thing that directly impacts the in-game that cannot (through any means) be obtained in ISK/LP.
Early access items? They're not better than the ISK/Skilled into items, and even then, are (or will be) in the LP store.
Boosters? That doesn't even effect the in-game, and as such can be written off.
Respecs? Maybe, but ultimately they only let a player redirect where their SP be spent, and in no way makes a person completely (even 1%) better than a person who has the same trees maxed.
Using AUR items to cut back on ISK losses? Nope, LP items are also there, and while they might still cost ISK, that cost is negligible and does not ultimately effect the in-game, only the neckbeard's egos.
Also, you tend to have some utterly moronic ideas, so i'm quite certain we can from now on discount everything you say as vitriol from a good ol' Dust 514 hater.
Proof.

Now, tell me again how this isn't a pay-to-win game?
You buy SP, you buy ISK free items, you buy Jara that nets you more ISK.
Winning matches 100% doesn't matter in this game. Even in FW, winning doesn't matter. ISK only matters, the whole purpose, like EvE, is wider your profit margin.
PC and pubs don't matter, because districts net zero ISK now, so playing PC doesn't matter, and pubs pay you no matter how had you do.
Change you old definition of what winning means. Because in DUST514, winning means profit.
Pay... to... win. Where does it say that the goal and concept of Dust is the make ISK? I thought it was about making an impact and taking control of territories like the PC Districts? Having more ISK doesn't mean I'm guaranteed to win a FW battle. Again, your old definition of winning. You're a mercenary. What does a mercenary do?? Make money. The endgame broke when ISK generation was stopped. And truth is, 9/10, the team that spends the most ISK wins the match(assuming they are putting forth an effort to win, not just be non participants). Even FW rewards you for losing. And it still takes ISK to play it. Change your thinking man. All EvE centers around generating ISK. DUST is and always will be pay to win.
Oh, you mean that undeniably, whenever faced: He who brings prototype INSTANTLY wins, unless faced with a higher ISK costing suit?
I'll remember to keep that in mind... when i single handedly win a Domination because the enemy refuses to leave their Ck.0 brick scouts to counter my M-1 "quafe" Minja fitted with a total of (!!!) 9.9K isk in modules/weaponry.
With that fit, I knifed, shotgunned, flaylocked, and meleed the enemy off the point because i could scan them, and they were too bricked/blind to see me waltz behind them.
