Everything they have publicly promoted is correct. Your false interpretation of it doesn't make it incorrect.
They never stated the trading between both games was implemented, PC makes it an MMO by definition, the game IS linked with currently linked with EVE, hence the star systems that are in both games, and they are improving the gameplay with each patch. So...what exactly are YOU talking about?
Edit - This is a free to play game, people deciding to spend money on it is of their own free will, and CCP owes them nothing for it. The argument that people payed money on a free to play game has absolutely no merit.
Again with the "Free" game ...You may have free access to the game, but is not free. You need:
- PS3
- Internet Connection
- TV
As a Sony exclusive they using the game to sell PS3's to EvE fans, and PC users. Also soon Vita's with the Dust 514 App. If you want to call Dust 514 truly FREE, it should be in the PC without exclusivity rights. |

The only flaw with your statement is that the game is still free regardless. If you can't afford a ps3, dust is still free. if you can't afford an internet connection, dust is still free. if you don't have a TV...guess what? Dust is free. Paying money to panasonic and comcast communications has no bearing on CCP providing a free game. Btw, you know that you also have to buy a computer if you wanted to play it on that, right?
Without a PS3, Dust is not free ... is similar with PC's, F2P games normally have "Under the table" deals with Graphic Card and CPU companies... Just look at the Recommended Specs for a game, and you'll see the "connection". |

So even with that logic, Dust 514 is STILL free.
"Free Access" if you have a PS3. |

Dust 514 cost me absolutely nothing to play it. It cost me nothing to gain 8 mil SP, and as i continue to play...i will still not pay any money to CCP to enjoy Dust, unless i decide otherwise.
CCP providing a means for you to decide on your own free will to purchase items that you can achieve in the long run (or quicker SP accrual) without spending money, does not give CCP an obligation to ANYONE playing Dust.
I think you are having a hard time understanding the fact that paying to play dust is optional.
And you don't understand, that a "GAME" that no one plays, is not much of a "GAME"... in the end of the day CCP is in the business of making games. A company that makes games for a living have an obligation to Gamers, free to play or not. |

A company that makes games for a living have an obligation to Gamers, free to play or not. I'm pretty sure theres 5-8k players on during peak hours. So the game isn't at the stage of "no one playing", and hasn't been since i started playing. CCP is indeed in the business of making games, and they met that obligation by providing you with the game to play. Anything else you feel obligated/entitled to is your own misguided prerogative.
Actually... almost every game in the market is Free to play online, after you buy the original copy of the game. Is only few subscription games left, and most of them have change to the much more "profitable" F2P model.
I don't think you really understand what Free To Play means... it is a marketing model. |
