Guys, read some other posts.
First CCP signed exclusivity deal for Dust514 on the PS. Yeah, PS4 or nothing is the only option. Unless you think CCP can out lawyer Sony. That is partly why Legion will never happen. Dust514 had so much support from Sony they can't hose them.
Secondaly - That party was nuts! Sax, Oil, vampires, and wtf were the Cories doing there? Plus Tom Sellock and David Bowie!
From Logi, to Heavy, to Scout, now I am moving to ADS. Please stop balancing!

Exclusivity don't last forever. They may have only signed for a 10 year plan. I don't really know the details of the contract, and I don't think you do, either.
Funny thing is everyone thinks I don't know contracts expire. I have written some up and signed even more.
I don't know the contract details, but logical assumption is that any exclusivity agreement would be for more than 2 years. 2 years is a minimum in most contract lives, with typical range being 3-5 years if any investment is expected by both parties. If you consider the first year is expected to be all losses in development and building a player base, years 2-3 are expected to be the lucrative years while 4+ are waning years for most games while a transition to a new game is planned. Especially F2P. Just stating that, Sony most likely would force any shooter produced by CCP with a New Eden integration to be on PS is my logical assumption.
I would like to see Dust on Steam, but if you didn't hear, the PS4 wanted Steam integration and Valve said "No". I would love to see Steam on the PS4 but I will leave that to Sony to fight that battle.
This would be awesome!
With the team chat gone, we need to really start leveraging the squad finder!
