"The Silence" can be because of other reasons.
1. They have nothing to say.
2. They are trying to do something but the last time they made a big sweeping announcement without having everything cleared up, people were understandably upset. Better to say nothing until it is a done deal. (IE, they are working with Sony to have Legion on both PS4 and PC on the same servers and don't want to say "we want to do this" in case it never happens)
In regards to Rouge Wedding, the upset is much more how unbelievably botched the announcement was rather than anything else. If the "DUST 514" keynote was 30 minutes longer, included a "what this means is you will keep all Aurum, SP, corporations, and character names" as well as some "what will be happening in the mean time?", most of the outrage would have never happened. Rouge thought the round table was going to be put on Twitch so all the "answers to your questions" never got to most of the people. Of course, the fact that the DUST 514 keynote was about an entire separate product and the fact that it was announced at FanFest were also massive blunders; CCP really shat the bed there.
I disagree with the idea that saying "we are never going to PC" would cause them to lose EVE players. That would be like Blizzard losing World of Warcraft subscribers because they didn't port Hearthstone to iOS; they are separate products and people would not be playing EVE if they were solely interested in Legion one day.
As for being pessimistic, I could completely see them being completely quiet in regards to "DUST will not be moving to a different system" or "DUST support is ending" in order to continue to sell Aurum. People will not be willing to spend anything if the game is just going to be dead. Hell, I still say that them stating "everything will transfer" and then not changing their tune for 18 months amounts to false advertising if they do suddenly say "nothing is happening" as people have bought Aurum based on that previous 'promise.'
Where did Rattati say "controversy"? I keep seeing that referenced and yet have not actually seen it. Could someone kindly link me the source?
