MCV Staff 21st September 2010 Business News

Square Enix has announced Crysta, a new online payment method for Europe.

The billing system is already used in Japan and allows consumers to pay for subscriptions and security tokens in the publisher’s online games.

The first title to use Crysta in Europe will be Final Fantasy XIV, which launches tomorrow with the special edition. Players will be able to buy Crysta in a variety of preset amounts: 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100.

The introduction of Crysta is an exciting step for Square Enix,” said Square Enix Europe president and chief executive Phil Rogers.

Our business is actively looking to create new online entertainment and deliver high quality content and services and having a safe and simple payment method is an important part of our online strategy.”

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
