So when is Dust going live again? I fixed my sign out issue.

Tomorrow*

Well I think my PS3 error has happening since the problem occurred for most users I don't even remember when it started. Then Sony patched but that didn't do anything for me so for the longest time I couldn't play Dust cuz my PS3 would force sign me out! Then I had moved a couple of times and after that I got the Wii U and I was playing smash and all those other games then I got my PS4 and I'm doing a YouTube channel. So today of all days I thought of the idea to Google the error code which fixed my problem. Right after I made this thread. Because before this thread I thought it was completely unfixable.

Long story short now I feel like the octopus from this story I don't know if you heard of it. There's a story about putting an octopus in a tank with a crab in a round breakable jar with a tiny hole in it. So it was a test to see if the octopus could get it out too eat it and it took a long time but it finally managed to eat it. So that's how I feel right now.

Like that octopus I finally managed to fix my PS3 I ate the crab and now its all gone I can't play Dust anymore.

I like the idea of developing for PC then porting to whatever console they deem profitable for a shorter term. The PC makes a continuous platform, constantly updating and improving, so it's not necessary to retire a title just because the platform dies. But once it's developed for PC, yes, it should be then ported to whatever consoles suit.

I think this was the fundamental issue with Dust - it was on a console, which then became obsolete. It should never have been primarily a console game. EvE is on PC and potentially will never die, just keep improving over the years, decades, etc, transforming seamlessly into newer versions of itself. If they could see a point to it, they could also port it to consoles, if they wished, but I don't think it suits them in its present form. Maybe with the new in-capsule control interface it might, but that's new and relatively irrelevant to the way EvE works.

For any other game in the EvE universe, it would be a simple and obvious port to XB or PS, and immune to platform obsolescence because the development is primarily for a platform which will never go obsolete.

I understand the issue here. We saw it to some extent with KB/M users against DS3 users, and how superior they were with a bit of practice. I agree it would be an unfortunate imbalance to have both platforms running the game. However it has been done for other games, and I still think that people would like to be able to experience it. Even though I believe the KB/M users would have a significant advantage over me either on the PS3 or on PC with a PS3 style controller, I would still prefer the controller method of input. I believe that is what makes the difference, not what platform people are playing on.

You're still missing my point. It's the input method that makes the difference, not the platform. People can use KBM on a console. People can use a game controller on a PC. I'm of the game controller variety. Even on a PC, I would not use KBM, but rather a game controller. That will put me at a significant disadvantage to the KBM users, just as it did with Dust. If it were to port to PS4, I would still not use KBM.
