actually ccp just need to time the release of DUST during the lull before the next cod blackops whatever comes out. it's not that hard to sell enough $50 boxed dvds to them console suckers to make a profit.

TA on wis: "when we have a feature that is its own functional ecosystem of gameplay then hooks into the greater ecosystem of EVE as a whole, and it provides good replayability."

CCP is releasing Dust as a cheap download, and you get free AUR which amounts to the value of the covercharge, so its basicaly free.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

It will fail. The fact that I really want it to is just a pleasant coincidence.

CCP addressed EvE player's concerns about what happens if DUST dies down and stops being played - I've never owned a console but I can't imagine anyone who has one has a large attention span. The statement went something along the lines of, "don't worry it won't significantly effect EvE gameplay if DUST dies."

In other words, DUST will have so little interaction with EvE that it will be almost utterly pointless from our perspective. DUST looks great and I'm sure it will join the millions of other FPS games out there in being successful for a few months, but what then?

I see two options:

1. Sever any link between DUST and EvE and make it a stand-alone game. Let's face it EvE players are never going to accept DUST players anyway, and will most likely grief the hell out of them in any possible way they can. DUST bunnies just don't know how mean things can get around here.

2. Release it on PC too. While incredibly unlikely as this seems, it WOULD address more than a few concerns.

They don't want YOU playing DUST, YOU are already paying them. They want other people to play Dust, new people, people who normally wouldn't play EVE.

You are off course welcome to play, but what they really want is people who play FPS like the idea that their actions matter and are not against DLC content. While you fly around in space creating the world for the grunts to shoot at.

All the people that are complaining about dust on these forums not being on pc should realise, they aren't the target demographic. They already have you, they want new customers.


stop using logic, it's not fair.

As a console game, Dust doesn't even begin to register on my radar.
Release it on PC and then we can talk.
Until then, my cup of care regarding Dust is empty.
