Legion on PC: Bound to fail due to stiff competition and lack of serious server security. Star Citizen just won't leave enough room for it, even if its FPS parts end up being 10% as good as they look.

Dust on PS3: Days are numbered. PS3 is old. They just can't do what they want here.

Valkyrie: Bound to flop due to stiff competition. There is no way it will compete with Star Citizen and Elite: Dangerous. It being VR just isn't enough to make it worth playing over the alternatives... Especially when VR consoles are still in their infancy.

EVE: Not going anywhere. It is too solidly in its own niche with its own very strong fan base.

Dust/Legion on PS4: In a HUGE market where the only competition would be Planetside 2 and Blacklight Retribution (and maybe Warframe a little), a good F2P game with the complexity and style of the New Eden Universe has a good chance at being successful. Not only that, but CCP could finally make the game that they originally wanted.

Nah, I'm done. For real this time. I might still play but I'm definitely not investing any more money so they can try to wrap their heads around what they want to do. No sense in wasting my time and effort into it if it's going no where. Fun benefit of being terrified of commitment is that you can't honestly expect anyone else to commit to it either and that being said, why should I commit any more time and effort to a company that doesn't know what they want?

This is some of the dumbest logic I've ever heard. If Dust becomes unprofitable that's it, game over.

The community's effort needs to be focused on Dust 514 as it exists, growing this community, and looking to get the game beyond PS3 through profitability here and now.

Is Dust fun for you to play? If so, keep playing, enjoy it for what it is. If not, don't play.

If you don't like what you're consuming right now, don't play.
If the game isn't fun for you right now, don't play.

Some of us are in it for a little bit more than the casual experience, hate to break your heart. Some of us actually played this game for the longevity, the character progression, and the genuine sense of ownership and belonging in this fictional world that was created.

Absolutely. This game has survived a lot. We're still here. The game is making CCP money, and the game is getting better and better. <- That is a recipe for success DUST has not been able to brag about before. Everyone's continued support of this game is what will give us that power to get what we want.

I enjoyed Fanfest this year, CCP seemed to be all about the substance rather than the hype, which to me says they have become very organised since last year.

Really it doesn't matter anymore for me.

Nearing the 100mil SP mark, vehicles are still in a poor place, infantry is run of the mill and im rich enough.

I have got MGSV and MGO3 to look forward to, Planetside 2 for the big battles and a few different titles such as Warthunder/Warframe etc.

This game is on borrowed time, maybe if it jumps to another platform it can survive and be where it ought to be but right now it is limping on a dying platform.

For the record is not the forums claiming that the game is making money it's the company CEO.

I'm here, right now with the Dust Devs and Shangahi team, on the pub crawl and I'm taking the time out, while ever so slightly drunk, to tell you right now that I'm getting nothing but positivity and good vibes concerning Dust 514.

You can choose to dismiss it as the ramblings of a fan boy if you want but I'm feeling better than I've done in a long time about the future of an FPS set in New Eden.

Making as much money as possible while keeping costs low is Business 101. If Hilmar doesn't have to port Dust 514 to PC because it's turning a tidy profit on a dead console then why would he? No incentive there.

When the money dries up on PS3 he will be incentivized to head to greener pastures: PC or PS4.

It's the alcohol and frankly Dust and CCP have that common thread; failing to really implement changes that make it a bit more open and instead have a fanboy market. You don't really see WoW players for the most part in EvE and vice~versa; they exist but it's pretty tiny of a fraction that players who've never tried an mmo outnumber this group.

Dust isn't your traditional shooter and it does rely heavily on duration and time played via SP; normally time equates to more game experience but in Dust it also translates to SP's and that's a big benefit. To put the spotlight on how CCP fares with a lower budget and such; Destiny, even if it wasn't the game ppl wished it was, still sports a 10M active player base and that's down to the 1/7 it's height. Sure it's a big drop but Dust is around what now, 3K round? There's a reason why Dust took so long to be profitable...
