Everyone at CCP is agreed on that and those that thought it went well at the time, well, they don't work for the company anymore. It's a tech project, much like EVE-VR was, demonstrating how a PC version of a New Eden FPS might look and be possible.
More importantly CCP shouldn't have written of Dust so quickly. CCP got embarrassed about how Dust rolled out, turned over tons of staff, and then tried to hit the reboot button with Legion while at the same time taking Dust out back to shoot it.
While CCP may not be able to specifically say X platform in Y time frame I do think CCP owes it to the community to reaffirm that they plan a long term commitment to Dust 514 ( a "ten year" game as they've said before) and a commitment to the community that is making it profitable.

Say CCP say they want to port it to PC but cant commit fully because they don't yet have the funds or business plan in place to do it. But they want you all to know that it is their wish and hope to make the jump to PC and if it goes well PS4 after.
Also this nonsense about PC first then PS4 is utter crap and I hope CCP backs away from it.
If CCP shoots for PC first PS4 won't happen, and if it does try for PS4 after we'll see the same thing that happened to PS2 where it takes years. By that time the console community that has made this game what it is will be cannibalized by other games and the social community that makes Dust what it is will be dead.

It's not like it's escaped their notice  But such a move has costs as I'm sure you'll understand. The game would most likely have to done from scratch as the PS3 architecture and code is simply not able to be ported as is to an X64 based architecture. Not a small job by any means.
Ummmm... if CCP thinks they have to start from scratch that's a huge concern and a case of CCP getting in their own way yet again.
We've already seen Dust on x86 architecture using UE3 at Fanfest 2014.

Hilmar himself shot down a suggestion of starting from scratch during Fanfest: https://twitter.com/Cazaderon/status/578997255971147776?s=09
Also upgrading the engine doesn't equal starting from scratch especially if you are moving from UE3 to UE4.

A work in progress that only 53% even liked playing.

So I'll be sticking around, in fact as of now the only thing I can see getting in the way of my seeking the communities approval for a second term as CPM is if my IRL job demands so much of my time that I feel I could not adequately do the job here for the community, but I hope that is not the case.
What the kitten, I'll let you guys know if things change so I have to bow out but unless/until that comes to pass.
Candidacy for CPM 2 confirmed.
Well, now that Fanfest is over please guys get on CCP getting those details out so the community can have a pool of competent candidates in addition to any incumbents that choose to run.
Again, that they didn't fly out CPM 1 to Fanfest is kinda crappy, but oh well. Even still, CCP announcing a CPM 2 would actually give some confidence that they are looking into the long term success of the game.
What I don't want to see is people that only wanted one term getting dragged through something that last over a year. (3 months becoming 18 months in the case of CPM 0.)
