TL;DR Make dust for PC aswell, it's a better business model.

When your entire playerbase is on the PC it doesn't make much sense to not make a "connected game" that's not the on the same platform.
Sure I get making it for the ps3 will probably gather in new EVE players but most of those mouth frothing ps3 kids will leave once they see the harshness of eve. They'll all just stick to being dust bunnies where you can shoot each other in the faces with their machine guns.
Plus many of us PC gamers don't own a PS3..

If only you would have been there at the start of development to give them your money so they wouldn't have had to take Sony's.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

5. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.



This subject has been discussed numerous times and the reason for DUST being on the PS3 has also been explained. CCP do not want to dilute their PC player base by having people leave EVE to play DUST. The idea of having a console based game, other than that FPS games sell far better on such a system, is that CCP wants to increase its player base and its market base. Releasing DUST on to the PC would only achieve the former, not the latter.

The goal is to attract new customers, not just new EVE players. Hopefully that clears things up a little.

Now fly safe, I'm off to see some Mercs about a chunk of lead they want dropping from orbit - ISD Type40.
