CCP Announces Console MMO Tie-In To the EVE Universe 89

Hork_Monkey writes "CCP Games, developer of the popular MMO EVE Online, has announced a new game called Dust 514. Building on the EVE universe, this game will provide planetary combat from an RTS and FPS perspective, with significant impact into the space combat aspects of EVE Online. Love or hate EVE Online, this appears to be an innovative way to expand the overall universe by catering to a different gamer audience. A video with a trailer and further explanation was posted from GDC Europe."

It may be a breach of their contract with the client. By contract they are delivering a set top box to the customer and the license for the set top box software requires them to make the source available. Not a lawyer of course, so I don't know if they can just say - 'duh, give us the box back, then.'.

Comment Started with a barbeque, but.. (Score 4, Informative) 628

Frankly I am old enough and bitter enough to just want kids like that off my lawn, my neighboors lawn, and if they are loud enough, the field next to it as well for that matter.

From BBC news - "But local people, fearing a rave was going to take place after previous events with loud music at the same premises, alerted the police."

In other words, this bunch were notorious around town for partying all through the night, playing loud music and generally being a pain in the ass to everybody else. They may have been just barbequeing when the police showed up, but the locals knew what was comming and decided enough was enough.

Well, you have to fill out your personal details, like your real name and where you live to get an account, so presumably they can find all accounts and ban them that way. Also, from what the guy stated, he doesn't want to play anymore. Remember that he exchanged the in game currency for real life currency, which is the whole problem. Otherwise the scam is perfectly within the rules of the game and had it only been for that, he could have continued to play the game.
