Thanks for the update, but couldn't disagree more about CCP being silent about their plans or at least acknowledging that something beyond PS3 is going to happen.
They have everything to lose and nothing to gain by staying silent. Was Iceland communist until recently? It just seems capitalist principles are so foreign to them. |

Definitely going down the rabbit hole. But we will need something to keep us from going after the institution when there are no jobs due to automation. |

But that completely ignores CCP's track record of alienating the Dust user base by making grand promises and then never delivering on them; what good has the introduction of Legion done for them? No one knows if Legion will ever see the light of day, much less replace Dust, and yet Dust players are still constantly debating if Legion = no Dust in the future, or what platform it would appear on, etc. Your communism comment is rather odd, given that CCP's move away from hyping up products/features that are never followed up on has correlated with an increase of profitability for Dust; they're finally making money now, so why go back to the policies that prevented them from doing so in the first place?
Well Legion was quite possibly the dumbest announcement that you'll ever see a company make so it's hard to comment on that part.
But we aren't talking about jet fighters or MTACs here. We are talking about the future of the game. There are a LOT of people who no longer play because they don't think it has a future. Why play a long progression game that has no future? |

Legion on PS4? I want that too - but I don't want them to say they're going to do it and then pull the plug a couple of years down the line.
What would that damage CCP's console customer base? If they announce a port and it doesn't happen the game is dead anyway so who gives a damn?
They don't even need to say if it will be PS4 or PC, just say "we will be moving Dust to a newer platform, how quick that happens depends on several factors".
That's about a noncommittal as you can get and people would sport wood for days. |

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.
What do you think will happen on these here hallowed forums? Be honest with yourselves here, with all your experience of the forums what do you in all honestly think will happen here.
People will be happy. They will indeed be happy. So far so good.
Then for some reason, CCP's plans change......
The forums would go indiscriminatly bat guano crazy. They'd be plenty of you suddenly claiming that CCP 'promised' us a PC version, that them 'wanting to do it' had somehow become a firm, cast iron guarentee of Dust on PC by next Fanfest. That MTECS, jets and speeders were coming as well with it and every day would be the first day of spring....
If you don't think that would happen then you are, without wishing to sound rude, not in procession of the full facts.
CCP and the CPM don't want that kind of drama. If they have something concrete, signed and more importantly budgeted for they'll tell you and not before.
If they'd told the CPM, that they wanted to a PC version, we'd tell them not to say anything till they were 100% certain they will deliver on it.
There have been too many false hopes raised in the last 2 1/2 years. I'd rather have some uncertainty than dashed hopes any day of the week.
If it doesn't go to PC or PS4 then it's dead anyway. So it doesn't matter. What you are talking about would matter if it were already on PC and we are calling for a PS4 port. This game has to move on to have a real future.
