It seems to me Rattati has done a better job of prioritizing what needs to be done with what we want to be done, and the resources he has to accomplish those things.

Thanks for expressing exactly my opinion on the matter.

There were devs before that went - e.g. - "Yeah, we want to fix the PLC soon" and not deliver for a year. Then Rattati takes the lead and I now run it almost all the time. Rattati delivers. That's what's different.

Covered that in the OP. Team True Grit was awesome and delivered but even they couldn't push out the features that were set as goals either. Rattati is amazing, don't get me wrong, but it's important to remember that he still has to go to someone above him to get certain things done.

But most of this is just fluff anyway because it doesn't even matter to the longevity of the experience. All the features in the world wouldn't matter for Dust 514 because it's on a dying console and they're completely tight lipped about Project Legion, which might as well be vaporware until that changes.

I think Rattati did a good job of showing levels of importance and whatnot, and not saying anything for certain was going to be in game. That being said, I agree with Pokey that it was a matter of management and leadership. Before, things seemed scattered. They would put something in a patch that was intended to work with something else coming down the line, but never fully delivering, and never addressing the most important issues at hand. It seems to me Rattati has done a better job of prioritizing what needs to be done with what we want to be done, and the resources he has to accomplish those things. I don't always agree with his course of action, but I think over all the tone of communication is better in addition to the levels of it. Let us not try to hold the new management to the promises made by the old management or suggest that more is being promised than it is. Thunderbolt. verb and noun. "James thunderbolted in his pants."

China just opened up its market to video game companies. That is a freaking HUGE population that could possible be adapting PS3s in the near future. If Dust gets fixed and its fun outweighs its annoyances, I will play it more even though I have a PS4 with several games. Not to mention, that if Legion is a thing, and Dust gets its kinks worked out, CCP will have a better template to move forward with than the non existent one they started Dust with. I don't think that Dust's future is immaterial at all. Thunderbolt. verb and noun. "James thunderbolted in his pants." "I lit a bag of thunderbolt on fire on CCP's doorway"
