Rocket is saving... I don't know... Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars a month by not paying for servers to maintain the population that has exploded in DayZ. Minecraft is pretty much an example of an explosive community. Its just that Rocket can't charge for his Modification yet, because we're all a bunch of guinea pigs for alpha. There is a lot of people defending the obvious also, which doesn't mean anything other than, derp. Devs also can't 100% control the people/servers. With or without hive. And if Rocket & team ever decide to power trip on a large portion of people donating the server, the game will get a bad rep and the news will spread. Sure people will still play. But its not like ideas don't get copied and IMHO rocket as a short window here before others start coming up with similiar ideas that are "better." You'll get and keep your fanboi following, but the community will fail. I've seen it way to many times in the past 20 years. Now that companies know there is a following for hardcore PvP/PvE again. You'll start seeing more hit the market. Maybe this year, but in the coming years there will be plenty to choose from. As of right now DayZ is DayZ and there isn't anything like it. But Arma 2 BLOWS as a game engine and I'm sure Arma 3 BLOWS as a game engine also. A company that is faster, stronger, smarter will come along and clean up on this idea. They just need server providers to donate servers, control them, and then give those companies free advertising. Bamn...
