In a move that few saw coming, CCP used the Dust 514 Keynote at this
year's fanfest to advise the gaming community of two things 1) that
Project Legion was its new version of their ground-based MMOFPS and that
it was being developed for PC and 2) Dust development was essentially over
and the game's support would slow to a crawl [although for some reason
they seem hesitant to admit it] it could have something to do with the prospect of no more sales of AUR items, but who knows.
It might seem odd because
although we disagree [wholeheartedly and passionately] with the way this
was done, we agree it was a decision that had to be made. For a myriad
of reasons Dust couldn't succeed on the PS3 and had to transition to a
better platform. We get that part, but 1) why delay this announcement
when the decision was made months ago? and 2) why continue to take money
from and mislead the community with promises of Soon™ and ask for
patience when players were essentially paying for a glorified beta and
nothing close to the vision they were sold on.
