This is not the same as Legion.

Remember that all CCP would tell us for months is that we would receive NO information whatsoever until they had a concrete plan and a product to show us.

We're being shown the product at FanFest this year, which means they have a concrete plan and this is not another "Project".

CCP needs to get back to their persistent New Eden EvE universe, with integrated versions of other games that allows people to play whatever roles they want, in a spaceship, on the ground, in a fighter, whatever. The idea that we are to be presented with a plethora of games, all supposedly set in New Eden, but none of them integrating, and therefore losing so much potential, is enough to make me turn my back on them.

I fully expected Dust to be persistent, as is EvE and as it was meant to be, integrated into the EvE universe. To find out first that it's not, in any really meaningful way, and now, that it will simply cease to be, with no port even attempted, is too much for me.

You know, at a certain point people have got to eventually realize that neither of those games is any threat to EVE Online or even New Eden as a whole.

You realize that both of those games are built from the ground up to NOT be player driven the way EVE Online is? Elite: Dangerous only just recently started allowing player groups to apply to possibly be accepted as entities within the galaxy. And that still does nothing about how the largest group of players you can have in gameplay is 4, because if you try and do any cooperative activities with anyone outside your Wing, you never know who's going to get the payout while everyone else gets nothing.

Star Citizen is going to have a "PvP Slider" that allows people in "high-security" regions of the game to pretty much completely remove any contact with other players in what is supposed to be an MMO. Players can make Organizations that work like Corporations in EVE, but territorial ownership and warfare will not be a part of this as the development team feels that would not benefit the game. There's also no means for players to build anything or influence the game economically. At least Elite: Dangerous uses the Community Goals system to provide a little variety even though they still have NPCs making everything.

CCP is NOT under threat by either of those games. All three games have positives and negatives and while they may appeal to some of the same people, they are also built to appeal to different kinds of people.
