It's likely being used to study what kind of market they can reach with this kind of approach.

I don't mind myself, I just think the exclusive nature of the game's odd.
I think it could work on the PC as well.

The thing, is I talk to every player on Dust and ask them if they Play EVE Online. My answers are usually no and never heard of it. You wouldn't make as much money selling merchandise to the same group than you would rather selling it to those that actually appeal to FPSs. More people play FPSs on Consoles than they do PCs

They're pretty much plastering Ads for an MMORPG PC game on a FPS PS3 game. For the most part, these FPS PS3 gamers aren't even aware of EVE's existence. They could potentially make some interesting numbers out of this.

Ever heard of Team Fortress or Counter Strike? Or Planet Side?
