If you look at eve, you will find tonnes more player content than official posts. Third party apps. Amazing videos. Corporate boasting. Recruitment. Years of fiction. Entire sites dedicated to eve. Enough spreadsheets to blanket a country.. A wiki...

EVE established itself as a game worth playing. The Devs toiled away, building a game that drew players into a universe. Through their work, the playerbase grew, and from it, the above happened naturally.
Many games have the above (different extents, other variations):
Runescape? Tons of third party sites with traffic, some are havens to player ideas, others for the economy or tutorials.
Warcraft? Of course. A certain MMO is ailing, though. Wonder why?
Space engineers? Tone of mods, great videosmassive amounts of creativity, and its an indie game. It's developers are active, too.
Castle Clash, Clash of Clans, and a myriad of other mobile games built up a community, too. With in depth wiki's and forums with people posting fan art, and YouTube channels for gameplay and discussion.
Fact is, a game must motivate players on a large scale to be imaginative. It must reach people. The game must importantly feel like it is being meaningfully updated by the developers. The developers must INSPIRE player confidence in the game. If a game meets the above criteria, player-made content will be made.
DUST has a stagnant community on a dead console. It has not been meaningfully updated in a long time. The developers choose silence about most things about the game. NONE of this inspires confidence in DUST. And yet, we have some great "third-party" content.
Frankly, I'm surprised about that. DUST deserves a helluva lot worse.

DUST has a stagnant community... /Patrick Stewart grade facepalm -----> Point -----> Your head Let me ask you this: How many new people are coming here? How many new faces do you see? Oh? What's that? Not too many? That's my meaning, and stagnation fits. No new water is coming to this puddle. But hey, facepalm all you want. I thought I'd try for some more meaningful discourse, but as is the usual case, no takers. I guess I'll go back to shltposting. You're on my list of forumgoers that don't play. So no. No meaningful discourse nor discussion. My apologies.
The game is still the same now as when I stopped playing.
Dev silence still reigns supreme.
My PS3 is still plugged in, with DUST still ready to go. I still want to play. I'd love to play. But... DUST still is not worth playing in its current state. When 1.3 drops, I'll see if that'll still be the case.
In the meantime, I'll still be around hoping for meaningful discourse, and you, well... won't.
