Sony PS4 at 299 have declared war against this PS3 pest. Your pathetic group will be obliterated no questions asked.

When theres other events the player counts go ABOVE 3000 and I remember some events going to 3800 or more?

But this event?

BELOW 3000??????

But the real strike is comeing on Black Friday at 299 for a PS4 with games.
So I expect some to run to Hussle-Stop to trade in a PS3 to buy a PS4.
Cause other than dust 514 what else is there to play in 2016 on PS3?
Another PS3 Barbies Sisters Puppy Rescue?
Most Game Developers are saying no content for old gen in 2016 and beyond.

Fixed.

Reserved.

You are correct, the appropriate term is a boycott. Though I'm sure many of us feel more like employees than customers a lot of the time.

Im buying a ps4 from my friend for $250 = great deal but the black Friday one comes with a game of stupid Uncharted collection crap. Why not Battlefront bundle.

I've never played a Uncharted game but on ps4 as a bundle = BS. Walmart, Target and Best buy same ******* bundle = Gay

Unfortunately, even with their reach being in the thousands, one critical factor that everyone seems to have forgot is that PCU =/= Unique Logins. There is no way for the Dust 514 community to view unique logins and thus the only metric to go off of is the active players online at any given time.

So, if the boycott (or strike or whatever you wanna call it) did have an effect, you probably wouldn't see it in the PCU anyway. Because we could have 1,000,000,000 "active players" (unique logins) but they could only be on for, say, long enough to get their daily login reward and their warbarge stuff.

With 2,500 - 3,000 players online, the community instantly thinks the numbers are low, that "Dust is dying", etc. In reality, there are hundreds of thousands of players that get on at various points throughout the day for varying duration.

The community's "activity" is nebulous and hard to put into words. The PCU is only a fragment of the information needed to classify what degree of activity the community has.

Doing something is not the same as doing the right thing. The boycott was a well meaning, but useless. It doesn't open up communication when players boycott, it closes it.

Paint yourself as martyrs or crusaders if it makes you feel good though. By all means.

... It doesn't open up communication when players boycott, it closes it.

...

All valid points, but if hundreds of players had boycotted then the peak concurrent logins would have at least dipped a little. The numbers I pulled show they didn't change at all.

So, uh, I haven't check the forums or played DUST since before the strike. Did it amount to anything, or did it embarrassingly flop...?

We have hundreds who have confirmed support, not thousands. That would be impossible, considering average player count hangs around 2000 during the day.

Still, this is a significant number of supporters.

What we actually said was that our reach is in the thousands. Thousands of people HAVE been contacted by alliance mails. However, some of these players are inactive.

You can rest assured though that we will indeed see a dip in player count on the 14th of November.
