Skirmish is not going to drag BF3 players away from BF3, I wish it did.
Ambush is not going to drag COD players away from Blops2, i wish it did.
but on the other hand if you told them you could then play both modes together with 1999 other players that SOE is selling well . Where CCP keeps trying to sell Eve to people that dont play Eve or own a computer with the market and Eve space changing. Non of the reviews on Dust ever say the concept is crap, just their not sure what it offers to the player that doesnt play Eve on the PS3 mostly.
Yes there are exceptions to the rules
I have never played EVE. It always sounded interesting. But I don't have anything like a gaming rig. That is the reason I don't play Planetside 2. Otherwise I would probably give it a shot.
I don't buy this whole "DUST 514 is only for EVE players shoulda been on PC" garbage. Your post seems to share some of those underlying assumptions.
There is a huge population of gamers of all stripes that own the PS 3. Not just a few exceptions to a made up and fallacious rule.
But yes, you did get to the heart of what CCP is trying to do here. Sell EVE to people that don't play EVE. Why the hell would they try to sell EVE to people that already buy EVE? Makes no sense.
DUST may fail to attract and hold player's attention. But this idea that players can only play one game at a time is ridiculous. Some players will probably play both COD Blops2 and DUST 514. 3 years from now if all goes well, you should still be able to play DUST 514 and it should be full of new content, have gone through a lot of refinement, etc. 3 years from now I doubt that the millions of COD players spending all their time on Blops 2 will still be loading it up as often as they do now.
DUST should not exist to drag FPS players away from their favorite games. It should be a place where those players can go to experience a kind of gaming like nothing any of the other games have to offer. Even if there is a lot that is already familiar. Like, get gun, shoot enemy. Get killed, respawn. |
