Like this: This game is second generation. To make progress you need money, they have offered deals how to get in the beta by paying, but the majority of players how got into the beta got it for free. I say that if you have payed for getting into the beta, or payed for equipment, look at it this way: You have contributed to a huge step in gaming.

cash has been flowing in for years for development of this game via Eve online player community. The little bit of cash here and there from these merc packs and aurum purchases probably go nowhere into development.. atleast yet i would think, my guess though is that most the funds from them sales is headed towards sony for having it on thier network? don't know.. but I guess in a way that is still contribuiting.. so don't know why I even bothered writing up this silly paragraph argument lol

Its also a great metric for seeing how well your product might do when it is finally released. If people are willing to pay money for a free to play game whilst its in beta, its a good sign!
