Sony is moving away from physical disc-based games and moving everything into digital. (in an attempt to rightfully shove a foot up gamestop's ass). As such, they need to now generate revenue to fund their MUCH larger networking issues that come with providing everything digitally. Subscription was something that was seen coming a mile away.
On a side note, Yes Dust 514 is coming to the PS4. Dust currently is in beta on ps3, and will forever be in beta as long as its on the ps3.
why you ask?
All of their ideas originally were developed on the Carbon Engine (CCP's own engine). The ps3 cannot handle the carbon engine for it melts the console from overheating. Since the dust closed beta was released, more then half of the ideas CCP has been coming up with and teasing us about developing them, cannot be done on the ps3, for it does not have the hardware to accomplish the tasks.
Hence when you look at the initial gameplay videos of dust, they look FAR better then whats currently being provided.
Dust was built to run on the Carbon Engine, CCP found out they couldn't use it so instead of scrapping the whole project and waiting for the ps4, they decided to use a 10 year old unreal engine 3 they have never used before, and started coding everything to work with technology a decade old, JUST to provide its customer with the game they showcased.
CCP has gone to great lengths to provide us with this beta, to test their baby as it grows into the sprawling adult the game was originally intended to be...so when it DOES hit the ps4, theres YEARS of beta testing data they won't need to acquire.
Enjoy this PS3 beta until the actual game releases on the system that can handle the game mechanics being developed. , i am |

And then we gotta pay extra to play online! Wow, Microsoft might be successful if they don't pull up paid online services ****. I might buy a WiiU or 3DS this year. No, bro. You'll get a PS4.... and you will pay for PS+ ......... and you will eat your medicine and like it. It's not so bad. Just look at all the fanbros comment about how it's not so bad. Oh, by the way, PS+ is priced exactly the same way/amount as Xboxlive Gold is. So, wrap your head around that one, LOL. I don't care about prices, but I didn't expect this **** from Sony, the main reason people bought a PS3 is because it has FREE ONLINE. And, Sony are encouraging people to comment about the PS4 being cool.
And now the main reason people are going to buy the PS4 is because of its awesome internet capabilities that will be fully protected, thanks to your subscription paying for the security of your online experience. |

I'm not paying no **** for security, Sony already showed their AMAZING security when a 19 year old kid hacked the PS network.
Ignoring the simplistic and ignorant way of stating that event :
So that means you don't use Xbox right? Cause you know, microsoft charges for their online and the same thing happened to them. |
