Jesus ******* christ, this is the worst ******* thing I've ever heard.

Sorry dude.

If I were you, I'd ditch the rest of Fanfest, and spend your time seeing the sights in Iceland, and make the best of it.

Good luck bro.

Wow this is really nice, but we don't want to take your money or anyone else. We just want to go home and put this behind us. I think there is a video game charity that started a few years ago to help disabled vets and or children of deceased players get into a university. I would feel much better if donations went towards something like that.

Class act. There are a ton of great video game related charities and even if just a few of us can redirect our anger and frustration toward something positive that helps another person through a game related charity maybe the day won't be a total loss.

Seriously teared up man.

Being embarrassed like that with your family.

CCP should be paying for Dust players airfare. Especially this guy.

Completely disgusting on CCP. They didn't want to leak anything that could hurt them financially, but screw you and your family for coming out there.

Seriously feels bad man.

Get this published by gaming website and toss it around to bloggers.
CCP should get burned for this kind of treatment of its fans.

It's really hard for me to explain things. I never heard of CCP until I became involved in DUST 514. A free FPS that looked like a solid game. I really enjoyed being able to be a part of this from the ground up as a beta player and all. Sure the game had its faults, but they were being fixed and with the players help, my help, we shaped it into something solid. I felt like I was part of a strange family, sure a digital one, but family.

Then I hear about this Fanfest and CCP really pushing DUST players to come up to Iceland and enjoy the party on top of the world. A party with the rest of the family and to meet EVE players as well as other DUST players. I am a family man and really wanted my family to experience the CCP and EVE family. We flew up here to join in on the Fanfest activities. My wife and little boy. Hopefully will try to get him another sibling to pick on later this year! (still trying)

At first things were great. It was interesting to walk around and introduce yourself as a DUST only player and everyone was so friendly. I meet a ton of people. Things were great. Finally, after all the other stuff we get to the DUST presentation. For a moment I felt special. This was a presentation about me and the rest of my friends who play DUST. A presentation for us and to become closer to the rest of this family here at CCP and with EVE. Everyone around me knew I was a DUST only player it seemed.

Never in all my life have I been this utterly embarrassed to be somewhere. To really feel executed on the spot and all eyes on you. I felt like the biggest fool in the universe. My wife just covered her mouth and looked at me with pity. It felt as if everyone was looking at me for a reaction.

Every single moment after that it seemed like my family and I had leprosy. People steered clear and ended conversations as fast as possible and vanished. I just don't know how else to explain it. I have never in all my life felt this betrayed and publicly humiliated.

I wish I never came up here.

Gonna throw in a plug for Child's Play. It's a charity started by the good people over at Penny Arcade, and is dedicated to providing video games and generally entertaining hospitalized children.

http://www.childsplaycharity.org/

"ChildGÇÖs Play also receives cash donations throughout the year. With those cash donations, we purchase new consoles, peripherals, games, and more for hospitals and therapy facilities. These donations allow for children to enjoy age-appropriate entertainment, interact with their peers, friends, and family, and can provide vital distraction from an otherwise generally unpleasant experience."

I'll bump this like...forever.

So we will. By hand.

Bump it till your banned, bros.

F2P game. No limit on number of PSN accounts per person.
Banning is ineffective.

As it turns out, we are legion.
