DUST Search - [Suggestion] CCP, here is something you need to understand

This game is unique.
Its a Free to play MMOFPS on the consoles that connects to EVE Online.
Such a game requires constant updates, and not one every couple of months.
CCP, you need to make a deal with Sony that will allow you to release update frequently and for free/lower cost than usual.
The standard model of an update every few months for 50k dollars won't work with this game.
Here is what happens with EVE Online, a system completely controlled by CCP:
An expansion comes out, there is an exploit.
CCP quickly releases an update during down time and fixes the exploit.
With Dust, they will have either the option to release it instantly, pay 50k dollars for a single fix, wait for Sony to approve it and then patch the game, OR make a deal with Sony to allow you to do the same thing you do with EVE.

Also, since this game is connected to EVE Online, it might (dpending on how deep the connection is) hold back EVE online's updates because it needs to release for Dust at the same time.

Unless CCP already has such a deal, this is going to be a problem.

However, they have to take things slowly and carefully because simply throwing away all their existing quality assurance mechanisms is a recipe for disaster. I can't find the reference atm; if anyone can post a link it would be appreciated.

And also some other things, but that's the main part. Unless CCP or Sony themselves say that a deal such as this was made, I will continue worrying for the future of the game, and for EVE onlines future.
