So that explains why they didn't use XBox.

How come everything that comes out of Hilmar's mouth in the last month just feels like the embodiement of pure unchecked greed and evil?
Can anybody feel any good still in him?

“What, exactly, you'll be able to spend your virtual money on is yet to be decided.”
Oh dear. That rather sounds like a core design decision that should be made pretty early on, don't you think? I hope that this is more a case of the reporter not knowing than CCP ù that it has yet to be revealed rather than decided.

Good.
Better to charge DUST players then to use the money from EVE.
Yes I know EVE money was used to develop DUST
but if DUST as a game doesn't show a profit then the money has to come from somewhere.
Don't complain, hope it is the biggest hit of the year and CCP gets a huge influx of new cash.

What you mean to tell me you paid a corporation and they used (Now their money) to further develope other things besides just the product you just bought?!!!
****ing outrageous!!!
From now on gaming companies can only use money from a single game for profit or for that game... NO OTHER TITLES!!! Everyone starts anew.

Its less ******ed than the price they have listed for pre orders in best buy:
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/dust-514-playstation-3/10172011.aspx
It still seems a bit on the high side for a MT based game, but at least they mention the possibility of it being free to play.
This is the sort of game where I think they should give it away for free (if they make their money off MT's) to even give it a chance of surviving as console gamers are very hostile to performance mt's in multiplayer games to put it kindly.
And it has.. a lot of quality pay once, play forever competition with actual well known brands, etc.
But really, what I want to say is that "No non vanity MT's" is the only line worth defending. |

Well, this explains everthing lolo CCP
Essentially a F2P/P2W FPS on the consoles, cause this outdated crap doesnt stand a chance at the 60$ pricetag.
Microtransactions for the PS3 crowd then are transformed into the ingame currency - AURum, and console ppl can then buy all sorts of cool and not so cool costumes, pay up for reinforcements, upgrades, vehicles and other deployables (which cost money in RANKED matches, i.e. the ones that are actually connected to EVE (contracted work clearing planets etc, as there surely will be a standard TDM option available for practice, when u are bored or have no clan/guild and no EVE contracts from capsuleers at the time).
But console ppl have another source of ingame income other than their wallets.. as contracts from EVE TO DUST are paid in AURum, arent they? Dolars -> GTC -> PLEX -> AUR -> PAY to get a planet cleaned up. Yo dawg, we put a currency in your currency. Also tied up to the SOV system? Welcome to the world of .. nOONE cares about 0.0 and everyone is in high sec (the whole 20 000 ppl).
So we can expect EVE to go officially Free to Play shortly after Xmas?
Also - loool 3 month expansion period loool thats gonna be what? 1 new gun, 2 new hats, 3 new pairs of boots and 6 new bugs? Cause given CCPs track record on EVE expansions it can be much more than that.
Good job Helmarrrrrrrrrrr and friends, good job indeed.

I would have been much happier with a normal retail $50-$60 box cost. Instead we get MTs affecting gameplay in Eve (assuming they actually follow through with the Dust-Eve link).
$150 superlasers? In my Sov Battles? It's more likely than you think.

You're really getting the game for free but you have to pre-buy credits in the beginning. We might go fully free-to-play down the line, but in the beginning we have a cover charge just to manage the initial launch of it.
"Spin": CCP's new corporate culture. Well, ok, not that new, just coming into full bloom lately.

Rofl, this isn't going to go well.
Seriously, you buy the game, and then to play it you have to pay money before you can use it? I would return the game straight away and demand a refund.

On a more serious note.
You buy the game then you have to pay more to play it? This is the opposite of getting a free months sub when you buy an MMO.
This is going to fail hard.

There will be a cover charge that gets converted into Aurum, which is the microtransaction currency. You also earn ISK in the game, but the Aurum is there for those who don't have the time to play in order to pay for their equipment. (Sort of like PLEX -> ISK.) As far as released information is concerned, Aurum will only serve as a substitute for ISK.

You buy the game.
Then pay the "cover charge".
What exactly am I re-reading?

The purchase price that you pay for the game upfront is the cover charge. The only additional fees would be if you wanted to pay real money for Aurum, which, as far as I know, is completely optional.

"It may be a basic thing people don't realise, but with Dust and Eve on Sony's network, we can allow them to chat together. Voice chat, text chat, that's all one world."
Kinda interested in what this entails. With their recent security troubles and ongoing legal issues due to those troubles, pretty sure I don't want my EVE account info anywhere near Sony's network.

The "then" bit.
You buy the game. That purchase comes in the form of a cover charge that is converted into AUR.

You do realize Sony has taken great measures to ensure the security of their networks, right? Regardless, EVE and Dust 514 are properties that belong to CCP. All of the interaction will be done through CCP's networks, and not Sony's.

This doesn't make sense, the pre-order price is listed as $60, yet you're only going to pay $10-$20 as a "cover charge" to buy credits....

That's because the pre-order is nonsense. It's a PSN downloadable.

Whatever it is, I laugh at Hilmar`s attempt to pass "cover charge"-game as free to play. Currency you receive is just a pre-order or premium bonus just like in real F2P games that are accessible without paying.

So the $60 will be the price for the poor bastards that have crappy internet and will get double slugged a fee to play?

Poor bastards that have crappy internet should probably not play an MT-based MMOFPS.
And where are you getting that $60 price? Sounds more like some retail outfit is making unfounded assumptionsà

Yeah, I appreciated the fact that ONE WEEK after the fact they told everyone that their information had been compromised, and I had to cancel my credit card... Loved it, ONE GODDAMN WEEK.
Read the rest of my post. Sony's networks won't be used for Dust 514. If you're so worried about credit card information being leaked, use a pre-paid PSN card to purchase your stuff. That's what I've been doing. No hassle, and no sensitive information involved.
