So much rage in this thread.

DUST is actually doing well. It is portable--it's built on UNREAL--but there's not a lick of good in porting it before they have the shipping version where they want it. They already made that mistake, remember?

CCP is not going to hype, or even worry about, integration with the EVE Universe until the game is solid. They made that mistake too, with DUST. Remember?

This looks like a good little game. I don't have an Android, so I'm not in the target market, but it looks polished and fun in small doses, which looks about right for a phone game.

It absolutely does not matter whether it is a small game with little effort or time involved. CCP cannot handle several projects.


If you're right, they'll need to learn how--the hard way, if necessary--because being a publisher of one game with no presence on any of the long-since-established portable platforms--never mind the current generation of consoles--is neither safe nor sustainable. One way or another, the pony has to learn more tricks.

I have more hope for these games than I did for the other ones just because they have small development teams, known and limited scopes, and a minimal amount of hype. After this and Valkyrie ship, CCP will be a frontline developer on two VR platforms, and they'll have a team with expertise developing on Android. Done right, they'll be able to reach people that EVE has never been able to reach, and get them familiar and comfortable with aspects of EVE's universe (Abaddon = imminent sunburn from a broadside).

There are still plenty of ways that this could go wrong. There always are. But they have to try.
