Als ein Vorreiter in Sachen Free 2 Play auf der PS3, wird das Onlinespiel DUST 514 am 30. Mai 2016 seinen Deinst einstellen. CCP wird das geplante 1.3 Update nicht mehr veröffentlichen und ab sofort funktionieren keine Ingame Käüfe und man kann keine Items mehr via PSN-Store erwerben.
We are very proud of what we’ve learned and accomplished with DUST 514 on PlayStation 3 over the past three years and it is an honor to be a part of such a dedicated community. We consider DUST 514 one of the best free-to-play offerings on the platform, but the years have caught up with us. It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that DUST 514 will be shutting down on May 30th, 2016. We therefore will not be releasing the 1.3 update as we had planned. Players will continue to be able to play for free on our servers until then, but all further PSN packs and purchases have been removed and disabled from the in-game marketplace and the PlayStation Store. Players with existing Aurum will be able to continue to purchase items from the in-game marketplace.
