The idea of an EVE FPS has excited me for a while now, but it's absolutely infuriating that CCP has decided to release this game solely on consoles. Quite frankly, it's a slap in the face to the current EVE community (since we're all on PC's to begin with).
Please, sign this petition if you'd like this game to eventually be released for the PC too. Apparently, porting a 360 game to the PC is not too intensive and completely possible, so it shouldn't be too much trouble. Besides, what happens to this new game when the next gen of consoles comes around and the 360 is left in the dust (lol, pun)?

Eros: I disagree. I'm sure a lot of people that play EVE get sick of it now and again (like every other game) and just want to play something else. I, for one, would love the opportunity to play in twitch-based combat, all the while knowing I'm doing something for the EVE universe (as opposed to booting up UT3, TF2, or L4D). If one doesn't want to split their time, one doesn't need to buy the new game. =) But I think it's fair that the PC audience get in on the action.
Sappho: That may be true; I certainly hope their considering a PC version of some kind, either tied in with the original game client or a stand-alone game. However, the point of this petition is to show them that we really, really want a PC version, and that they should do more than just 'consider' or 'hint' it. 
Rubico: Why NOT SIGNED? I feel sad.

One thing that is fact, is that console gamers are fickle. If Dust catches on with that demographic. Its only a matter of time before the new "Hot" game comes out, and dust is forgotten. Once the console fad wears off then what are the paying EVE subscribers left with?
That console gamers are fickle is a common misconception. The reason most console multiplayer games die off is because of planned obsolescence(EA built thier empire on this concept) to force people to buy next years sequal if they want fresh content. So basically no new maps means everyone gets tired of getting sniped from that same corner of the map or tubed in that particular hallway or spawn killed at that particular spawn or naded at that same damn spot because everyone knows the map inside and out and can camp at will. Dust content will be refreshed just like eve content on a regular basis so even if some hot new game comes along well dust just got a new content update too and will still compete well.
You may be correct. However, what will happen whrn the entire SYSTEM dies off, and not just the game. Sure, CCP can keep DUST interesting for a short while. But when the next-gen of consoles comes around, everyone is gonna want to switch, leaving CCP to create a brand new game with the exact same content as before just to support he new system.
With PC, you don't have to worry about that as much. =)
