Unfortunately Piranha Games don't have a massive budget like some other AAA titles. They are going to launch what basically is an instanced match based game in order to fund the continued development off the battle engine to give them a fully fledged MMO with a persistent star map.

So for launch, its going to be match based games and micro transaction for what they say is not "pay to win" as the actual combat is skill based and not overpowered by the cash store model. They didn't mention it in the video, but from the research I have done Piranha Games has stated that all mechs and weapons that are available for instant purchase from the cash store can be earned through game play by generated ingame cash through playing rounds. Basically, those people who play more often and generate more in game Comstar Credits will not have to fork out real hard cash for mechs. Where they are going to make their money is going to be through customization of Mechs.

Don't make me have'ta Troll ya Bro!
