Does this list remind you guys of anything...? There is no need for a boots on the ground first person shooter, when you are in the forefront of developing a VR first person shooter in space. Project Legion is dead. Uhm. Valkyrie was made in a completely different studio by a much smaller dev team lol. Valkyrie dev team is not small anymore. Resource re-allocation from Project Legion is my guess. Also, if you think about it, its not up to the studio to re-allocate resources and stuff, its up to Hellmar and his gang. Sooo... why would CCP spend cash on development of 2 new FPS games in the first place? Dust 514/Legion (Space Lobby shooter) has too much competition on the PC platform. It would be stupid to develop it before Valkyrie (niche F2P FPS in space) business wise. But CCP... you say? Yes, CCP. Maybe there is still hope, as we have seen upper management do really stupid things before.
I still believe in the vision of 2014, New Eden on pc, giving you whatever experience you want, one char to rule them all. But who knows what ccp is doing with legion. My guess is, something changed, Dust making money maybe? Oculus giving ccp a 'we will launch on XXX day' notice and so CCP shifting gears to get valk out the door? CCP really hurting for money, and hoping that Valk will save the company? CCP deciding that the 2014 vision won't work, so lets fix dust and then spread out into too many directions again.
I really don;t know. But it looks like CCP is getting starey eyes about VR and going down the path they did before. Spreading themselves to thin. Unless Legion is going to become a VR shooter, which could be interesting, they need to focus. But this is CCP.
Anyway, the trade mark expiring doesn;t rreally mena much, as for all we know legion is now Dust514 part 2. Who knows. I'm just a bit worried if CCP spreads to thin again.
