dust isn't eve.

That's the first thing you need to get into your head. CCP is not creating an eve replacement. they are creating a new game which better suits the mass console player base rather than the pc base. and why shouldn't they branch into a bigger market. lets face it the pc gaming market isn't what it used to be.

you need to stop looking at dust as an extention eve and more of an addition too.

also your subs have nothing to do with future expansion of ccp's buisness. its their money not yours. time is all your getting and everything else is a free bonus.


Wrong. The PC has much more power than those consoles and the console gaming market is shrinking compared to the pc gaming market. Or in other words: PC games are getting more important again. Its called economy.

Hmm, really? I thought PC gaming was still on the decline? Any linkies to some stats?

The Console market dwarfs the PC market as far as playerbase goes. There are players of Eve (myself included) who have PS3's who will be giving it a try (as we don't "Shock horror" Pvp 23.5/7) and there are also console players out there who have access to PC's who have not experienced eve due to the whole "Eve is HARD" concept. If Dust appeals to the PS3 userbase (hell, who wouldn't give a FtP game a go at least once?) then it will build not just a pile of users interested in the game but also additional users interested in the universe overall. if this draws in the kind of players we want to boost the userbase then so be it. the Vertical learning cliff (TM) of Eve will seperate the wheat from the chaff. :)

This will draw more players into "the CCP family" overall which means more subscriptions, more development, more fun stuff (tm) overall.

Yes, we can bang on about "the console market is full of 12 yearolds" but TBH, there are just as many fuckwads on the PC as a % of population.. :).

Overall if Dust fails then we have lost nothing as far as the overall FiS game goes...
