I'm one of the oldest players here and I'm not ready to give up on dust but I'm way more than ready to give up on the ps3
Whenever I have asked "why isn't CCP even saying 'we are looking into it'?", it immediately does what this thread has done:
"PC Master Race!"
"No! PS4!"
"PC is more better because of EVE!"
"No Legion failed because of PC!"
It becomes a pissing contest to see who can yell "MY SIDE IS BETTER!" and the larger question of "why isn't CCP being more open with whether they intend DUST to continue past the PS3?" gets completely ignored. As to that question, there are a few possibilities:
1. They don't want to announce anything, even a "hmm, that might be a good idea", until they are locked in on what they are going to do.
2. They think any kind of transition is going to be seen as much of a failure as Rouge Wedding. "We said we were transitioning, they screamed at us." (Note, people actually screamed at how poorly this information was handled)
3. They are truly not sure if they want to continue with DUST. DUST on the PS3 is profitable; CCP could decide to just run out the clock on the PS3 and earn a little bit of money. Reinvesting into a game that has had super mixed reviews is risky.
4. The second they announce "we are thinking about transitioning", the forums will ignite into what system it should go to.
5. The second they announce "we are transitioning to X", everyone who does not have an X will immediately stop playing the game. I don't have a PS4 and don't intend to have one. If CCP announced "we are going to PS4", my interest in the game would likely evaporate. Same goes for people that are in the other boat labeled "I don't have a PC that could run it."
This is a super s*** situation we are in that only has one way of ending happily.
"We at CCP would like to announce that we have entered a deal with Sony. We are going to continue our business arrangement in regards to DUST 514. You are going to keep your character names, your Corporations, your faction standings, your SP, and a limited amount of items (we are still working on this but at the moment it is only aurum items, boosters, warbarge components, and skins/BPO's). Now that we have that out of the way...
DUST 514 is transitioning from the PS3 to the PS4 AND PC. You will be able to choose which system you wish to play and we are supporting Cross Platform Play. Finally, console players and PC players can hash out their differences by shooting each other with hot plasma!"
I hope the above announcement happens one day. I hope that they are working on the above right now, trying to make sure everything is in order before they drop that bombshell.
"This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"
