Meh...
I don't think Dust is going to be the second golden-egg-laying goose that CCP seems to think it's going to be, certainly not if they don't port it to PC/Mac.
I mean, another pay-to-win console FPS?
It's not like that market isn't glutted beyond belief, now, is it.

How many other console FPSes are there where the fights you fight today shape the universe that you're playing in? This isn't a ladder competition where the ladder gets reset every season.
The persistent world FPS (or FPSMMO) is a small niche that CCP is trying to create. I expect it will attract a following of similar size to EVE Online. I wouldn't be surprised to find that DUST actually gets bigger than EVE in terms of active customers, even if only a fraction of them are paying customers.

True, but only if CCP succeeds in marketing it as such right off the blocks; I submit that most experienced--read: Jaded--FPS types won't perceive it as anything but "more of the same," as it were.
Does CCP have the budget/resources to do the kind of marketing blitz that could overcome that?
And if Dust is to be P2W as it appears, then fights/victories in that universe are not something I want to get within a country light-year of this one.
Nasty, nasty implications there, on all kinds of levels, IMHO.

On a business level, I split it 40% for EVE, 40% for WOD, 20% for Dust. interesting enough but wis is actually going to be exploration pvp... like the video that ccp did earlier this year... expect the movie alien but in space but without any actual aliens... but more then likely scarry looking sleepers in the stations...
it is not sure yet ,that WIS-exploration will be added to this game. Its an idea the devs are testing . But there are a lot of people wanting this,so the chances are high
pushing that button ,not expecting something. But suddenly the door opens and the next thing i see myself flooting in space,just before i wake up again. thank god for clones |
