It disappoints me greatly that people would throw away this opportunity for us all to unite and fight for the future of DUST, in favour of pettily stealing a few districts. This is greater than a few districts. Soon, there will be no more districts if we don't take action. There won't be any DUST at all.

Sorry, but I don't see how not playing a game for a day shows support for continuing that game. If CCP sees enough profit in it and little enough risk they will make it happen. Striking doesn't show them anything, we don't cut into their profits much and we don't make life difficult for them so it has very little effect, what effect it does have is the opposite of what is needed to enact a port. I think you misunderstand the considerations that a port entails. I think you ignore that Sony is unlikely to allow a partner to take its playerbase and game and simply go to PC, even with a name change, and they probably strongly discourage talking about it. Was it an unqualified success for Sony and CCP? I doubt it, so it is not obvious that a port to the PS 4 will occur. One thing is certain, showing that you are disgruntled will resolve none of the issues preventing a port or the open discussion of it.

You're making an assumption that it will definitely be ported. He has every right to do what he feels is necessary to get CCPs attention, cos we haven't had any actual news about the future of this game as a whole.

I mean sure we get a hotfix every now and then and maybe a patch, but it doesn't answer the long standing question of what they actually plan on doing with the game.

Everyone is knows this game needs a new platform, the community knows it, Rattati knows it, hell I beat even more CCP members know it needs it. If they are indeed working on it great, but the fact remains that we are being kept in the dark by them and it isn't nice.

I'm fully aware that CCP is trying to avoid another Fanfest incident like what happened with legion, but some news wouldn't go amiss. The community is practically begging for it. Regardless of whether or not the boycott achieves anything or not, at least people are trying to force change, rather than sitting in silence hoping CCP might announce something.

I think that horrible fanfest was ccp saying a port was confirmed

But us (the community) were so agitated at the time
Most of us did nothing but bash ccp

I bet if legion was announced now at this point in time
We would see a lot more support.

What a tangled little web we weave lol

What a tangled little web we weave lol The legion announcement was literally a f*ck you to the community. They basically went and admitted that the Ps3 should never have been the platform they used and decided that the PC would be best without so much as a thought of what the community as a whole wanted. The announcement itself wasn't the problem. People have always wanted a port but the way it was carried out was a disaster. Wanna play eve?
