Kuronaga Fatal Absolution Bleeding Sun Conglomerate 423	Posted - 2015.10.31 06:16:50 - [1] - Quote We already know they hired an outside company to convert Dust to Unreal 4 using PS4 hardware. The smoking gun was revealed some time ago, they just didn't want to comment on it especially as the evidence presented here does not mean they were not also pursuing it on PC at the same time, or had even reached a decision on that end. When you take that evidence into consideration, it doesn't guarantee the port but it does mean they have spent significant resources researching the possibility. Also, the CPM flatly refused to comment on it which pretty much guarantees it isn't some made up nonsense. Personally, I think the issue is something akin to PC being easier to develop for in terms of cost, but they want to put it on PS4 so they are trying like hell to get the funds for it through Dust and Gunjack. It's pretty well known at this stage that Rouge was never a fan of putting Dust on PC, and that was simply Hilmar giving him the terrible responsibility of relaying the decision publicly. I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to avoid actually going through with it. That's just my personal tin foil though, and I'm probably a good bit off the mark on that count.

Without wanting to confirm or deny anything in case its misinterpreted, on this particular point you're way of the mark. Then we have an interesting situation as that would directly contradict statements that have been made in public at the same information level you're operating at. If you hadn't shaved off the first sentence of the paragraph I would accept the meaning behind your post a bit more easily, but considering you did I could only assume that implies direct contradiction. Not sure what to make of that, but its something to stew over. The only point of error I could see would be the mention of Hilmar as that IS an assumption on my part, but there aren't really a lot of people over Rouge I'm aware of from where he sits.
Kuronaga Fatal Absolution Bleeding Sun Conglomerate 423	Posted - 2015.11.01 06:37:42 - [3] - Quote They are a business, and Dust is technically profitable. So, they aren't looking for closure, they are looking for money. In which way they decide to get that money is the question. It could come from porting, or it could come from squeezing our wallets dry until the game dies and they move onto a different project. If CCP Z had his way, it would come in the form of destroying everything you love about the game and turning it into WoW. Pray his model never reaches fruition, for the death of the game is a far better fate.

Kuronaga Fatal Absolution Bleeding Sun Conglomerate 433	Posted - 2015.11.04 21:42:29 - [5] - Quote CCP's line of thinking is that even if almost no one has the rift, everyone who does will have their game. It's not a bad line of thought, but at most they will only be able to get a quick buck out of it. Valkyrie is not a sustainable longterm product. And hey, maybe that's something that's been recognized and discussed already. We only assume that every decision they make is in absolute ignorance.
Kuronaga Fatal Absolution Bleeding Sun Conglomerate 434	Posted - 2015.11.07 04:03:50 - [6] - Quote The last time I asked the devs about Dust on PC was shortly after Legion announcement. I asked about security concerns and how easy it would be to make life a living hell for others on a F2P FPS MMO via simple hacks. Saberwing admitted the entire team was well aware of the security issues, but had no real answers to give whenever he poked Rouge about it. I have to tell you, I REALLY wouldn't put your eggs in that basket. It sounded as if they had not thought out the platform issues at all.
