2nd i may be wrong but eve playerbase isnt growing, not huge increase in playerbase so not many new players have change to play legion
3.ps4 has sold i may be wrong, about 20mil copys and if legion would also released on ps4 and lets say 5% start playing legion on ps4 that would mean 1million new dusters Yeah, that was the whole thought process that lead to the ps3 debacle. FPS games work well on PC.
Yup.. the ps3 has 60m units sold, if only 1% of people with a ps3 play dust that will be 600k dust bunnies!!!!
except thats not what happened. So its a dumb argument.
The biggest reason why dust may have failed, though i don;t think it did, it just under performed, and ccp wants to focus on pc, but the biggest reason is there is ZERO reason for an eve player to give a flying **** about a dust player. And visa versa. None. OB is a gimick. If dust had come to pc, and had some type of game play that could of enhanced eve's play, the players of eve would of flocked to dust and helped build it up. They coudl of gotten there buddies who don;t liek eve but play say counter strike into dust and into corps and alliances of both and maybe gotten them to try eve eventually. The point is, any tie in to eve at all, MUST have game play that makes the eve players give a **** about the legion or dust players, and visa versa, otherwise it will both fail, and should be a stand alone game. |

To answer the op:
What CCP shoudl do with legion is go all or nothing.
You either:
Fully tie it into eve, so that there is game play that the eve player cares about the legion player, and the legion player cares about the eve player. That both games complement and enhance eachother, but are not 100% cruical to the other successeding. I.E. legion can help take station in eve but they are not nessicary. EVE players can make legion gear, but its not required. Both MUST care about the other being there. Otherwise its like having two cities split by a wall with a few people going back and forth. Most people won;t care about the other city.
or
Legion must be stand alone, with ZERO intigration into eve, and no word on any future intigration. Because any hint of 'well in x years we will link the tow' could hinder growth if said x years is not met. Its best to say 'they are seperate with no interaction just int eh same setting (i.e. SC vs SC Ghost, or Warcraft Vs. WoW) then one day 'oh btw as of xxx legion and eve will be intigrating.
CCP needs to go all or nothing. Because if its half assed in the middle, it will not help either game in the long run.
IMO ofc |
