EVE General Discussion

No.

If Sony wants an exclusive game release, they will pay for it's development. In turn, CCP gets the money to write an engine. And in gaming, especially, they always budget game development to fund OTHER projects (in this case PC). Nothing gets done unless it's funded first. So this is how CCP could get direct funding, but the conditions are it's a 1 year exclusive offering for PS3.

CCP will ride it out, and go from there.

But patience is a virtue, and it's clear now that a diet of 8hr weekend games, make very impatient gamers.

Stop thinking, it doesn't suit you.

And yet there are absolutely tons of successful FPS games on pc which have this problem. It's all very well to be glad that console games lack this but who cares if nobody's playing the game?

******* hell buddy, you're playing Eve and you're bothered by stuff like that?

Eve has had more "hax" than you've had hot dinners and I dunno whether its escaped your attention but there's been tens of thousands of "bots" in Eve over the years. Possibly hundreds of thousands.

This is Eve. Everyone assumes everyone else is cheating. Sometimes they're right

But dust has Mintchip!! How can it be dying????

The playstation platform is the number one complaint from Eve players. They have to see that. I can only imagine some sort of contract could be holding them back from admitting this. I'm sure everything looked good on paper, especially when you see some fancy graphs showing console games growing more than pc games (a reality exacerbated by the gaming industry)

I call on CCP to remember how Eve Online got its start. Go to your loyal players for help. Perhaps something like a Kickstarter campaign to relaunch Dust into a PC format. I suspect more people would be happy about this than upset. I bet players would donate money and time to the project.

Get People Involved.

There are tons talented Eve players who could contribute to a crowd sourced talent pool. Surely individual pieces of the game could be outsourced to players to help create, with CCP quality checking everything. Plenty of people would give their time freely to support such a project. Perhaps give them some unique in-game items.

Dust can be saved if you embrace your Eve players.

This, really.

Otherwise, waiting for Star Citizen.

... waits for the steaming corpse of "DUST" to be fed to Mr. Wu's pigs....

would be awesome if dust had maps(possibility) to fight inside our stations/POS/pve spawn titans and such so eve players can influence battles shooting/reping/hacking said objects

Say evacuating civis or securing docking bays so eve player can bring stuff in side etc...

Point being i think eve link would be more potent feature if we are both in space..eve game mechanic don't allow much more than peeing from orbit.

Hopefully with the death of DUST, we may also be rid of the DUST 'community reps'?
