I agree with this but can you imagine the image CCP will have if they're truly using Dusts end of life to help fund Legion ? (With no transparency) When that time comes if Legion is for PC only all these road maps and current optimistic Dust fans will be irate knowing all the money they have spent has been for nothing.. (although it's their own fault) CCP will still be burning a lot of bridged and possible Legion customers. ..
IMO transparency would be the best ie "We're still supporting Dust till there is no one else around to support it but Legion PC is our main focus.. Here is what we are doing with Legion, your character will be transferable etc etc" We hope to see you there..
Some will stop spending money but a large group that hasn't spent money on Dust because of lack of transparency, myself included. Would start spending money again pretty sure it would balance itself out. |

Would start spending money again pretty sure it would balance itself out. They already have millions of followers on PC. Once Legion is ready to the point that they announce it they will have zero need for console gamers. I disagree with saying that Dust is funding Legion. Dust is giving money to CCP which they spend on whatever they choose to spend it on. CCP makes enough money off of Eve to fund whatever they want to with or without Dust.
Maybe not funding legion solely but it doesn't hurt.. I don't know about your last statement.. Hilmar flipped **** after the 2013 financial report was released they were spread to thin meaning EVE can't afford to pay everyone's bills.. I know at that time they had WoD and Dust and I believe starting EVE Valkyrie... But if the massive WoD layoffs tell us anything EVE alone can not fund whatever they want.. :-/ |

We are not planning to make any announcements about or show anything new for DUST 514 or Project Legion at Fanfest, but CCP Rattati and CCP Rouge will be on hand to talk to attendees and participate in all the usual activities with everyone such as pub crawls and roundtables.
::Tinfoil hat on:: Wasn't Frame hired for Dust maybe Legion is all being handled by EVE Devs and Frame is getting the stiff arm. Could be why a few key Dust developers left last year too ::tinfoil hat off:: |

This is the only way you can sway their decisions. If Dust earns them money they will continue it in one form or another.
All this lip service stating that I will support it if they do this or if they do that is useless. Execs over ar CCP are not reading your forum posts, they are looking at the amount of revenue the game generates.
That's not how the video game industry works for consumers anymore. Gamers continue to get screwed over every year because they support a product with cash and DLC.. Just for the company to release the same **** product 6 months later, re-skinned and with a fresh paint of hype.. Or a product that pushes out expansions with little vision or transparency only to close it's doors a few years later..
Neither of these were CCP'S vision two years ago. This is the time when the majority of us were blindly spending money on a 10yr plan. Since we've seen what it's become recently we resort to lip service..
