          Couple of things I'm seeing that may change your view. This will be a f2p game. It'll be supported by micro like any f2p mmo. So you have that. I've also seen replies saying they are optimizing the game to work with that sharpshooter peripheral. Also, they aren't sharing data with sony, and if they did, they would have to tell people for legal reasons. Especially if it crossed national borders which is sort of likely when your corp is based in a low population country (relative to the subscriber base).
          
          Will have to wait for more info from interviews being conducted all week with CCP people related to the game. But will have to wait through the months to get a better view on how this will be. It might rock everyone's socks. Or it could just as easily flop around dead.
