My response directly to the OP:

I am not sure I will ever play DUST much myself beyond testing it out and seeing what it is like. After that I have a 9 year old son that will become my main merc and the kid can play FPS console games very well. So that is my unofficial plan to rule EVE by both Earth and Sky =p

Having said that, ultimately I believe that anything which brings more people into New Eden is (at the end of the day) an overall positive force in the universe and good in general.

EVE cannot ever stay the same. That is not MMO design. It has to keep growing or one day they will shut the servers off 'sooner' rather than 'later'. I don't care if I have to knock a few console gamers in line if it means 'later' due the assist with payment to keep CCP coffers in the black.

(not sure any of that makes sense but I know what I meant to say  :psyccp:

Buullllllllll****. BIAS! /me froths at mouth

Mercs go to war for money...everyone knows this >_>

Soldiers end up being the least patriotic and the most cynical/realist of the bunch, I would argue they go to war to survive.

Anyway, a very generalized quote, not sure it fits in EVE seeing as we've had, oh, about...4 major wars so far? Lol.

Also, obvious reference to non-empire factions participating in DUST 514 is obvious.

If this becomes true, I might just get a console and the game for the sole purpose of gunning down droves of Serpents, and their angel pals. All day, every day, it would be a blast.

Suspicious? I dunno, it could have been critical of humanity's insistence upon warfare. Think about where the RL analogue got its name.
