Seems like you shouldn't play MMO's anymore. They come and then they go, along with the time, money and stuff you gained in game as well.

I'm no DUST fan, but it is really pathetic how CCP has handled this. Basically, they're taking everything they've promised for DUST over the past two years, and instead porting them into a new game on a different platform. It would be like CCP putting EVE on life support, making an EVE 2 with all of the ideas they've revealed over the past couple years, and make it a PS4 exclusive.

Very shady business practices, especially when you consider they had promos last week designed to fuel microtransactions when they had to have known this announcement was coming. Looks like "Greed is Good" is alive and well, hopefully it stays out of the EVE portion of the universe this time.

Well, according to some DUST bunny in Croleur called Foehammerr,
people are calling Sony and getting their money back.

i fail to see the issue, have you been on steam? seems that's how games companies operate these days "give us some money for "early access""

... starts handing out coffin nails and hammers...

The "verdict was in" on DUST when it stopped appearing as part of the game "bundles" as each new shipment of PS3's came into the stores.... so well over a year ago, as far as I'm concerned.

They're only this upset because if they were that much into Dust, they're mostly the kind of people who couldn't see the writing on the wall for the last year or so anyway.

boohoo EVE players, too, paid to develop a game that they didn't get to play.

Funny how fast DUST players forget that and complain about their revenue being misspent.

At least now we know what the name was all about. DUST † 5/14.

This is the most clever thing ever. Have all the likes.

Exactly.

CCP rolls up to fan fest this year for the EvE keynote: Instead of that, you get tons of information about "ADAM"... a XBONE exclusive sequal/port of the game, and none about EVE. Adam is going to be everything they promised over the last 2 years, but *maybe* your SP/ISK *MIGHT* get transferred over.

And they had a micro-transaction event for SP THIS WEEK. Spend more money, get more SP. And then you can use the SP on.... nothing, because a lot of the players will be unable to make the move to PC. Cash grab.

Except that anyone with a decent gaming PC, as is the case with the vast majority of the eve population, has the money to buy an Xbone, or already owns one.

While this certainly sounds odd, your argument is invalid.


DUST isn't dead.
CCP didn't shut it down.
Nobody knows if that happens,
or when that happens, if it happens.


Yeah it's all a bit fishy ....
