This is from the fact that their marketing team is still playing the blame game on why the Legion announcement blew up in their face so miserably.

If you believe the CPM1 folks, much of the marketing people behind the Legion announcement were let go very soon after Fanfest ended.

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.

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.

....

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 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.

Fallacy shmallacy....

There are people who just game on consoles and just game on PC. And you know what? It's not uncommon at all for someone to stick with just a singular platform. And from what I see, sticking with a single platform is because owning multiple... well...

...about the mining. I went back to Eve for that.

Or if not that, then at least in the US, wages have stagnated, cost of living hasn't been decreasing much, job market often sucks, kids are expensive, retirement saving is [or should be] a higher priority, or a myriad of other factors that would discourage owning multiple platforms that serve the same damn function.

1) I believe it's called a 'false dilemma', but don't quote me.

...

2) Are you telling me the typical gaming demographic for DUST has even less free time than me? Please.

...

I just saw piece of vegas and honestly?
Thei still doing more for EvE :(

I understand EvE is flagship but honestly, still no too much love for dust?
They have new this and new that, systems, new ships, even new fps camera mode.

And Inovation in dust is still on point 0.
Why there is push for optimization and new mechanics in one part and excuses for another?

C-¦mon CCP we could use some of your love too.
Helvete we payed some money too ;p


We still have here LAG and frame drops.
And honestly it looks like we stops on skins only updates.

Tell me why we cannot have new weapon models if we can have new skins?
Why we cannot have new tanks/Lavs/DPs when we can have payable skins?

There is so much to improve and CCP team really stuck on playing tenis with stats and making new colors for skins?
C-¦mon why the is improve in different piece of game and no push for optimization here?

We need some improvements too.

There wa message some time about new server infrastructure and what we can see now in game?

Blackscreens, LAG (again honestly on your servers, the lag and rubbers are like on P2P structure) and many many other thingies to fix.

After all that years, after all that articles how everything will be better and improved.
Still stucked here and still without anything properly progresive.

Ratatti honestly few new skins will make you some money, but do not fix game.
It isa end of another year and what we saw.

Some balancing (again and again issues with it), new skins (oki good) but other thingies are still lost somewhere.

LAG the major issue of game is still in game.
New bugs (just wow i did not expect this one).
No proper new adition to game.

Ergo

Another lost years for dust.
Gujack have love.
Eve have love.
Valkyrie have love.
Dust 2.0/Legion (lost somewhere in time ergo nothing there)

And

Our beloved Dust 514 is still somehow better factory for skin.

Honestly boykos i saw better usage of engine in older games on Ps3.
Ergo nonsence about ps3 and how terrible it is system is nonsensical here.
Dust making money = DUST NEED LOVE TOO!!

CCP c-¦mon try to do thing better.
LAG fixes.
Better engine optimizations.
New things like racial models.

Skins will not make game better.

O.K, Here's where we get to the fine line. Dis-Continuity. Are you happy for all your assets to remain on PS3, safe and sound till the last PS3 player remains, and start again on a fresh platform.

I'm not saying this will be, and CCP have said specifically otherwise. The rift (no pun intended) between the community is that the PS3 version will die,'IF' they port. I hope CCP take their sweet time finding a solution, I really value my skillpoints and assets, but I'm getting to love this museum I'm keeping them in.I think I;m gonna miss this place... even you people. That said, I'd love to start another collection, whatever it's called and wherever it goes. Viva Dust, and any future spinoff we are helping them create..

Their poor copying of a free to play model in the start of the game lead to much lower than expected revenues causing expenditures on the game to go down leading to even less revenues until ultimately we reached the Legion announcement.

Enter Rattati.

Legion backlash wakes CCP and makes them realize that not only are console players going to refuse to follow a game to PC but they are also going to abandon you for back tracking on the so called future that was spoken of so much prior to said announcement.

Rattati does the common sense thing and instead of stopping progression on something because it may hurt a future idea, properly monetizes the game in the way that most free to play games do just to get revenues up and gets development happening. Unfortunately this came after much of the Dust team had been stripped away and many of the dedicated players had been run off.

Anyone that was part of the original management and of the marketing team should be sent back to intern status. Without trying to sound too harsh they set an absolute model for screw ups.

Now that Dust is generating proper revenue CCP is farming all the money they can here while avoiding a port announcement in an effort to avoid unnecessary debt and out of fear of another community rage by people that do not have PS4s already. This is from the fact that their marketing team is still playing the blame game on why the Legion announcement blew up in their face so miserably.

Unfortunately this unwillingness to speak is only hurting their future chances as players who once dumped tons of money into this game are moving on most likely to never be seen again because of silence about any future along with constantly using the PS3 as a scapegoat instead of owning up to what was a very bad start to this game with no real optimizations going on and everything being a cluster **** from all the code being built around "what we are going to do" instead of just developing the game to get it to grow and eventually do what they dream of.


Feel free to tell me where I am wrong in my above assumptions.

Im not that positive here, they did not fixed major issues and holes here and because that i not believe in another title.

lolz, guys. it's only been 800 days or so. Look how much 'we' have improved. You're helping make a great game... and actually, you should speak your minds, keep it up.

there r still thing there doesnt show up, such as ''pilot'', ''contact grenade'', two more factions dropship....
