Every other functioning worthwhile MMO game (even one from 1998 - NexusTK: Kingdom of the Winds) uses their own credit card transactions.

The fact that SE cannot do this is absurd. Furthermore, with all the security leaks and hacking recently I want my information as close to the source as possible, instead of a third party company that might get hacked for a completely different reason and my information simply becomes collateral damage.

With that being said, I doubt this game can ever return to pay to play and garner a significant amount of subscribers. I expect microtransactions and or content packages that you have to pay.
Are you reading what you're saying? Sony dont use third party company, they're the source, and got HACKED. Frankly using a third party source is probably more secure because its the ONLY thing they invest into. Sony is not investing primarally in protection. (Well they will now).

And besides, its a never ending battle and every company in the world is suspectable, no matter what you do, or any companies does. If a hacker wants in, he will find a way.

I dont even see the problem with ClickAndBuy, I found it insanely easy, all my friends did. It accepted my info straight away and I even got my CC changed on it quite easily. I dont know what you are all crying for. Maybe its because I'm in England.
