I am going to assume that you are correct. It does make some sense to me. The notion that something like Last of Us was able to happen with it's graphics and textures compared to DUST always confused me. But if it is a matter of "you can only load so much at a time", I can see why we are here. I have to wonder if the game could have been set up to not have to load every damn bit of information, though.
So here is the question: why hasn't CCP made public plans to move DUST on? Whether or not those plans are in motion, why hasn't CCP said "we want to progress DUST to a different platform given the technical limitations." CCP wants to blame the PS3 for a lot of things that have and have not happened yet they continue to use the same system for their game.
If CCP is lying and using the PS3 as a scapegoat, then they are causing damage to themselves because the logical question is "Well, if it is hindering you, move to something that doesn't!" Like a guy telling his girlfriend "I would totally marry you if I had the money" but continues to burn his money in an oil drum, it looks untrustworthy.
If CCP isn't lying, they are causing damage because they are hindering themselves. If the ball and chain is too much, why not ditch the ball and chain? Looks lazy and unconcerned.
I know Legion was a misstep but would anyone be that worried if Rouge announced it like "We are transferring everything. It may take a little while but every step you have made will not be wiped away!", the hubbub would have been next to nothing. All the Legion posts are about fear; that it is a different product, that we were asked "buy boosters, aurum, APEX suits" and we will be asked "do it again!", that all our effort and care in this game was misplaced.
I just confuses. If we really are at the limit, we have to break the limiter. Or does CCP not want the investment?

To be fair, Legion was announced as a separate game, they weren't ready to answer questions like "will my stuff transfer?", and it shouldn't have been announced at FanFest. It wasn't so much that people were unhappy about the information but rather the announcement. Like a couple trying to have a baby, the doctor broke into their house, peed on the bed as they slept and shouted "YOU ARE PREGNANT!"
