when will the ps3 support be dropped? (from a ps3 player)

[Tupsi]

That gets my hopes up I dont want this game to.be held back by old tech

See, at that point it will then be held back by SE not wanting to do things because it will:

1. Stress the players.
2. Create a skill gap.
3. Disallow people who don't play the game to not be able to properly catch up.

(And yes, that's basically a lot of reasons they won't do certain things.)
