Don't rush CCP. The thing about this game is you will keep coming back to it. It's not like CoD or BF, where if you walk away from it you might never play it again. CCP does... something.. to their games to make it sure as hell addictive. I caught myself considering renewing my sub for EVE Online earlier today. Damn you, CCP.
I wouldn't worry too much if a few people left right now. They'll come back for new content, or even at release. How do I know? Playing EVE on and off for six years now. |

I'm not just an EVE player, I, oddly enough, do play FPS's too. Played MW2 ages back, heavy TF2 player, also played CS:GO in the beta. I do understand the need for regular content updates, but when you get bored of DUST... Leave, and wait a few months. You'll see. You'll have caught the bug. |

There are two ways to do this. To rush the job, and come out with a game which feels like it's half-completed, like many EA and Activision games out there (can't name any off the top of my head), about which a lot of players have complained and given the game bad reviews, like Skyrim. Yes, different genre, but the principle stands.
On the other hand, CCP can take their time about it and released a finished, quality product. For an analogy, let's do food. I'd much rather a restaurant cook my food thoroughly, and make a good meal out of it, rather than I go home because I'm stuck for time and I end up with food poisoning.
If a game feels unfinished, as it is likely to do with any rush job, regardless of genre, production company, or fanbase, you'll feel like you've wasted your time playing it. As it is now, you can go away and play CoD, BF, MoH, whatever, until the next content update. I'd much rather play a fully balanced, bug-free game, with full content and wait for it for a few more months, than get it now and have another CoD clone.
In the end, your last line, "Get it done, get it done right and get it done quick." isn't going to happen. Quick and right do not go in the same sentence together. It's a fact of life. |

Name one on the same scale. |

I check out DUST every patch and once or twice a month if I muster up the will to be frusturated by boredom and stupidity, but only out of hope its somehow progressed, not addiction.
It's only been a few months. I've gone a year without thinking about EVE, then had a sudden urge to play it again. Actually, in 2005/06, I played a two week free trial, but couldn't afford to subscribe. Then, a few years later, remembering this space game I'd played, decided to go back to it. Been hooked ever since. |
