Did Jenza wear the same pants?

I fail to see how CCP is on the "cutting edge", particularly with dust.

Also, ive never played planetside 2, but its clearly a much more ambitious project, and they also didnt have to fire most of their dev team and halt client side development in order to become profitable.

Just sayin'

The depth of customization and the skill progression hasn't ever been done before in an FPS. Having loss in the equation also is a significant departure that adds a lot to the game.

On that general theme my stance has always been to support a port to both. This stance was stated plainly in my platform before the election and remains true now.

Being utterly blunt, as I have said elsewhere, community infighting about "which one" will happen is both detrimental and a waste of energy. In the end market analytics are more likely to decide which "one" if there is only one but a unified community with robust numbers/support for the game is more likely to get both than a divided community.

Playing on both console and PC myself for many years I am well aware of the ludicrous feud that is maintained by some, even unto this day. However as I've discovered recently just because a group of people, or even two groups of people, on the internet do a thing does not actually mean that said thing makes any rational constructive sense.

Having this community, of currently active players in Dust 514 seek to forcibly exclude a portion of our own based on their next gen hardware preference (be that desktop or console) is of no constructive merit. It impedes the current game and does nothing to define the format of the ported game except perhaps reduce the likelihood of a duel port.

Even if a portion of each 'faction' refuses to play due to their 'rivals' being present (a very odd stance for those signing into a war game) that does not equate to a lower total potential player base than a port to a single platform. Further those who would take the route of refusing to play under a duel port system are not a very high priority segment of player base, indeed cannot be if their loyalty is more to the hardware than the game. Each hardware type provides many games, seeking to appease someone who may just as likely leave for "greener pastures" as stick around to be active is not the most savvy way to see Dust thrive. Where as supporting both opens the doors to those who have only one or the other hardware type (and not the funds to purchase a second) but still wish to play the game.

The whole discussion may be moot, there may not be a duel port in the cards (much as I support one) and if that's the case then it will be a business decision, based more on market analytics than anything said on these forums, which defines where that port lands.

In essence any way you slice it conducting the "console vs pc war" here on the Dust forums serves no viable constructive purpose, only a detrimental one (AFAIK)
