Oh please, take off the tinfoil.
DUST is a free, niche game. People will always pop in to check things out, and DUST has the advantage of convincing people to stay, through time required and money potentially invested.
No other game is trying to "compete" with DUST, and these titles that supposedly flop still draw in VASTLY more profit than this game ever will.

Destiny has barely any content with a $100 price tag including the DLC unless you pre-order, which brings it down to $90.
Tom Clancy's The Division got pushed back to mid-late 2015.
Star Wars Battlefront is publicly confirmed to be a pale facsimile of the original games.
Is Dust just unusually lucky as far as competing titles? This is seriously getting uncanny. Ubisoft hasn't put out a good Rainbow Six game since the very first one on N64. I knew it would be terrible as soon as it was announced.
I'm actually pumped for Star Citizens FPS module because it's going the heavy tactical route kind of like Rainbow Six, but with no respawn mechanic other than being dragged back and revived by allies.
Stressful realism is the WIN!!

Stressful realism is the WIN!! Its going to be a sort of middle ground between rainbow six tactical "realism" and more floppy games like destiny or COD. Thats what the chairman said anyway, not sure what that will actually mean in implementation, but whatever ;d
All I heard him say about Destiny was that they had very polished weapon handling, which they do. COD he specifically noted how he disliked the twitch feeling, and how SC FPS will be extremely slow compared to games like that since with no respawn, you dont want to run out guns blazing like rambo.

What will kill it is the slow dropout that people will have. PS3's will die, veterans will stop playing, and there will be virtually no new blood in to take care of the loss. To me, there are four ways for DUST to die: Legion/DUST 2, Sony stops supporting PS3, CCP says "good night, sweet Prince.", and the slow bleed.
Other than those, I don't see any one thing being the killer.
People still religiously play 10 - 20 year old games.
Very few games "die" without devs totally shutting things down, because fanbois.

How many other FPS games have perma death? And how does perma death = mass appeal?
