Jesus. You people will post anything, won't you?

How entitled do you have to be to ask a company to shut down a profitable game because you think have more pretties later.

I just... You know i'm glad you don't run a company.

This.
People may not like this game but it is without a doubt, still a capable shooter which is a blast to pay. This thread is terrible and op should feel terrible.

Wow,

Are you actually claiming to have a CCP batphone to back up your point?

Need to add some tabsco because thats some weak sauce.

What an absolute load of crap. You seriously think asking CCP to TURN THE GAME OFF. Is beneficial to ANYONE?

Jesus. You people will post anything, won't you?

Oh I feel loved. Hate? I'm no more hateful than the schmo asking to have a game others find incredibly enjoyable to be turned off because a tiny fraction dislike it. Turning this game off will not make it better. All that'll happen is he'll come back when it's re-released and complain about everything ELSE and claim CCP didn't let us provide feedback. And you know that's how this will play out, because it's the only course of action that could possibly happen.

How can the community provide feedback to ongoing development if the only viable and serious suggestion you give the developers is "Turn it off and don't let us be involved anymore while you tinker behind the scenes, even though everything you've done before is something I've been disappointed with and complained about."

Please don't go tarnishing me with this same brush. I love Dust, I love EVE and I enjoy CCP and what they do. I play at least a few games daily and I have made plenty of posts, suggestions and had plenty of neutral discussion (Those likes didn't generate themselves). But when I see something so mind-numbingly shortsighted, so idiotic in it's purpose and a request that serves nothing and no one other than a self gratifying sense of spite, yeah I lose my faith a little and wonder why people like that are still here.

With the above considered, do you seriously think turning the game off is the right thing to do? If you're answer is still yes, I urge you to uninstall, because this game will never be what you want it to be.

If i'm 'awful' for saying turning off the game is a flat out stupid idea (Not just bad, I genuinely mean downright idiotic), what does that make the people who want to turn the game off and cut off development feedback?

Pst. You're doing it again.

The problem is that as long as this game is available to the average PS3 user, Dust 514 (and CCP) are hurting their reputation and making it less likely for the game to succeed in the long run. Shutting the game down and retooling would give them a chance to fix the problems without having to worry about how the current state of affairs affects the average player perception.

Right now, most players who bother to download the game never come back. They try it out, realize it's an unfinished product, and shut it down... and that's assuming they haven't read the reviews first. If they read the reviews, it's unlikely they will ever bother downloading it in the first place.

To the average player who doesn't read the forums, doesn't play Eve, and has no connection to the New Eden universe, there's no reason to consider Dust 514 anything other than a throwaway half-assed shooter.

Many of us see the potential, and see how the current game doesn't even come close to that potential. We'd rather there be a great game down the line, than have a terrible game right now.

I'm not entirely convinced that shutting the game down for awhile is the best approach, but I certainly wouldn't say the idea is anywhere close to "idiotic".
