I bet if you check their forums and search his name, you'll find him there bitching about something. |

If that game is so much better, why are you here. I promise nobody would miss you. Lol just letting it be known they can make more money this way. I though a CCP Fanboi like you might like the idea lol Every time somebody uses "lol" as a word element of a sentence, the collective IQ of the entire world's population drops by 1%. You are a burden on society. You are bad and you should feel bad.
We would be dead if that happened with all the quality writing that goes on here. |

"1) Make new PSN"
1.5 = pay for that account, and the other 2 on it.
i understand how F2P works.
i also understand basic math:
6000 people is not massive and won't carry this game very far if the devs don't make money off of it.

Do you understand that EVE online profit will support this game? They do not need to maximize profits of dust if it compromises their vision. |

You obviously don't know basic maths or you wouldn't leave out simple variables. You're forgetting the 50,000+ sub count on EVE that are paying CCP good money. That's the point I'm making. DUST players are like unemployed people on welfare (free game) payed for by the taxes EVE players (subs, plex, online store purchases). The game will survive, because even if it stays at only 6000 players, the material cost of it is payed for by a decade-long established MMO, which means it's been around for even longer than WOW and still survives. It's this kind of persistence against all the odds that demonstrate what make CCP (AKA Crowd Control Productions) a different kind of development team from your regular old Blizzard or EA.
You're also leaving out the variable of the fact that CCP don't have shareholders to pander to, because all the company's owners are on the board (majority owners being the company's staff and founders, Novator Partners and the American investment fund General Catalyst Partners). They can make their games any way they choose this way, and retain a loyal following of core fans that for the most part, would still pay a sub if one was required for DUST in the future. But, hey, it's CCP, and they decided that they could afford to run an F2P MMO off the back of profits from their very-long-running pay-to-play MMO, which is the most successful pay-to-play MMO on the market if you only consider how long it's been running by the same sub system, with minor tweaks and variations along the way (such as publishing it themselves instead of giving it to Simon & Schuster Interactive as they once did). |

uh...
EvE is EvE and the money spent and profit made for and from that stays there.
514 is not EvE and if you think EvEm will be able to support 514 into the future, i think you guys don't get how bidness works.
you can't take profits from one product, apply them to another product and claim both products are doing well.
also:
they are working on a Vampire mmo right now, too.
that's gonna put more overhead on their company.
you guys want the game to succeed, but you don't wanna fund it?
weirdness.

Pretty much this.
And btw tts a rather sad reflection of your life if you hang about a game you hate just to point out how much you hate it.
