It infected the press as much as it infected us.
It'd be nice to see that optimism back in play at the hands of a new Dust 514.

Dropsuit and weapon BPO's with powercores, skins and modules in particular.
So modular weapons, then? Following the proposed system of attaching the cost of the asset to the powercore it uses?
I like that idea, and it'd lead to some really neat variety of weapons used in matches.

As I said in another thread, putting the game into the massively-oversaturated PC Free-to-Play market would result in it gaining more users for a brief period before they all left for the next shiny new thing, leaving only the EVE players who actually care about Dust 514 who only want it on PC so they can stick it on their 5th monitor while mining ice with the other 4.
I'd describe that as a fate worse than death.
Cross-platform between PC and Console with shooters has been proven many times not to work, so I think the game should stick with people who actually like it and care about it, and that's us here on PSN.

"CCP's whole playerbase" is not, in fact, on the PC, as evidenced by the numerous people who prefer console who play DUST. 'and things would go fast' is a pathetic justification for axing a substantial number, if not a majority of the loyal playerbase. What I mean by things go fasta is that updates and minor fixes would be easy and fast to bring to us and not be delayed by Sony Numerous?? You mean the 2k of the players who still play?? Lol eve online double digits > dust 514 2k More people would play Dust on PC than ps4
...that's seriously your measure?
There's only around 2k of us left because most of us felt we got shafted by last year's FanFest, and before that the game released in a pretty poor state thanks to the mismanagement of the likes of CCP Jian, who aren't even with the company anymore (probably as a result).
I will remind you that even back when the guns had no Absolute ranges so a person 1 meter outside your max range would take no damage from your shots, the game still got a large number of downloads, and even back during the Open Beta in Chromosome the Battle of Caldari Prime attracted so much attention from both players and the Press because it represented PC players in space and Console players on the ground fighting for the same objectives simultaneously.
Obviously on the Dust side that just translated into a text blurb on the login screen and the later incorporation of the destroyed Titan into the backgrounds of the maps, but it was still a major factor in bringing in players.
If you look at EVE-Offline, even in the broken state this game has almost perpetually been in, we almost broke 10,000 at the game's launch last year in May.
It doesn't take much to imagine the kind of massive player count this game would have if it were fully functional and on a current-gen console.

Shooters wouldn't be the game's only competition on PC by a long shot. It would theoretically be in competition with every other free-to-play game regardless of genre.
How has everyone forgotten that the original mission of this game was to bring console gamers into the world of EVE Online? That's the whole point of this game existing.
If you take that away, what's left of the original vision?
