What's funny is the norm of hiding a little money in the budget for prototyping. Otherwise they'll have to file for funds for it too, which is a hassle. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

You don't "grow" by letting your flagship, cash cow product rot on the vine and betting the farm on a game with a shaky premise, built by people with any abysmal lack of clue about how FPS games work, aimed at a market that you do not understand (or which doesn't even exist . . . take your pick), and competing with established franchises that are decades ahead of you in experience and execution. |

Dear CCP,
Please ignore the whiners. I appreciate the FPS shooting-in-the-face route you have taken. I also don'd mind your diverting Devs to help Dust grow. Honestly, the two free expansions a year standard you set for yourselves ( and now are held too) has caused many EVE players to expect more new S@#$ and attention then a kid in a candy store. Although I dont play Dust ( barely have time for EVE) I find the idea (and link) awesome.
On a side note, to all the people in this thread who are complaining about Devs being transfered to Dust, or claiming it is a Titanic...consider what you would have CCP do. Abandon it? I'm sure if they took that route there would be whining about that as well.
PS: Maybe every FPS should just copy COD, that way we could have a freaking great time comparing them all. |

Just to clarify something: Just because we're hiring into Dust doesn't affect the total number of slots working on EVE. If anyone jumps to another project, that slot will be re-hired (Fozzie was a re-hire for a Dust transfer for example).
The tl;dr is that the expansions will continue churning at an unchanged pace.

It was obvious from the get-go that DUST would be a flop.
I honestly don't know how this project was given the thumbs up. All that time and effort put into incarna and DUST could have accomplished some pretty amazing things in EVE. |

I bet it keeps you up at night; thinking about how much more you could have done with Eve if you had all the resources they used on Dust.
What are the top 5 things you would have used the extra resources to add to eve in the last 3/4 years?

The thing is with dust however, it does have the grounding to be a really good game.
Another thing with dust is that you can always sweep it under the carpet or throw it out a window and its gone, and you have a nice clean room, for more EVE
And what is the quintessential essence of Dust Anyways? twitter: @glasgowdunlop-á GLASGOW MEET JULY 13TH http://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=229549&find=unread

What resources?
Sandbox game with the reason why sandbox games get such negative PR -- lack of content, as the players are the types that like unfinished, non-polished games and fight to keep them so. Rather tinker in the grim, than taking a hot shower and change that underwear.
Jesus A. Christ. You have devs moderating the game forum. That's how much EvE operates on a shoestring (let alone how bad game mechanics are if they can't trust anyone else to do the job), it can't even have a community manager let alone moderators vetted enough to be trusted to moderate their own forum.

Blizzard moved 80 of it's devs off of Titan and reassigned them to other projects. Titan is still being developed (probably the bare staff to redesign from scratch). It happens.
As long as they're not fired, they're still producing.
80. That's how many those top 2 game companies put on AAA titles. Regular factory of devs. That's how the big boys get the games out and have them so polished. And that costs money. MMOs are topping 100 million dollars now for current tech and concept MMOs. MMO 2.0, I don't even want to fathom what Blizzard is sinking into Titan. 25 million a month?

That's its problem: As a shooter game, it gets none of the basics right, which means nobody cares about the one marginal gimmick that it has which other shooters don't. As IGN put it, the entire sum of the "EvE Connection," seen from the perspective of a DUST player, is "not particularly distinguishable from Modern Warfare's predator drone."
It has doods running around with guns. In that sense, yeah, it has at two things that you expect to see in a shooter. Beyond that, as a shooter, it is uninspired and badly done. CCP has done nothing up to his point, and has shown nothing coming on the near horizon, that is going to change the fact that it is baffling, frustrating, and annoying for non-EvE players to get into, and it offers no discernible reward in return for the effort demanded by its stupidly high learning curve and punishing grind. |
