I'm all for a PC port*. I love the idea and I think it's a great step forward for us. That being said, the way the Legion announcement was handled was amateur hour bush league poop. It should have been done via a series of devblogs, Q&A sessions, and youtube videos posted on the forums. That would have allowed the public to slowly become acclimated to the idea of Legion and ask questions.
*: I also support a PC/PS4 port, if it is technically feasible. I recognize that PC is the best step forward, but offering DUST on the PS4 would allow us to preserve our console players which is nice.
Addendum: I own a PS4 so either way, I'm going to be playing DUST on a current gen platform.

deezy dabest wrote:dividing the player base of your flagship game and hoping for a few console players to totally change their way of gaming seems like the right choice. First, the idea of "dividing your player base"... In Eve there are lulls in gameplay. Depending on what profession you are taking part in, these lulls can be quite frequent. For example, when you are space trucking through high security space for 30+ jumps in a clumsy, slow industrial ship you are in for a long wait. During that time the player could play DUST instead of browsing the internet or whatever.
Basically, you take a break from playing one CCP game to play another CCP game. In either case you are increasing CCP's potential revenue if you spend money. From launch day of DUST (PC) they would begin with the Eve players AND the Dust players who have PCs; that is a sizable day 1 player base. Add to that the massive size of the PC market and it's brilliant from a business standpoint.
Second, the logical fallacy that there are either console gamers or PC gamers. There was a time about a 10 - 15 years ago when you would probably be right about this. People only had the money to own either a PC or a console. Now, with the price of PCs decreasing and console games being available cheaply via digital distribution, it's not uncommon at all for someone to own a PS4 and a decent PC gaming rig.

And from what I see, sticking with a single platform is because owning multiple... well... I'm a husband, father, and I work 40+ hours a week and I still find time to play PC and console games  Are you telling me the typical gaming demographic for DUST has even less free time than me? Please.
There are still gamers who only have one platform; I get that. I never argued that those gamers don't exist. I am saying that people who own a console and gaming PC are more common than they were in years prior.
