So … what about the abusive pay for play system hidden in a free to play , were you need to spend hundred of dollars to be hable to have some decent content?. Making it open source is just a strategy add content … Without spending a penny .
It used to be a classic phrase in the eve forums when I was playing long ago.
If I was unemployed and didn’t have anything to do in real life, I would play eve. It’s a great game for people who wants to become more and more powerful in a virtual galaxy at the expense of it consuming all your life.
Same here. It’s hard or impossible to combine with doing anything in real life.
I guess the idea of paying real money for isk is the solution in a way, but if I’m not grinding eve for isk, there isn’t much else to do. Why even do missions or go to null sec if I don’t need isk?

Eve is a Screensaver where you spin your ship.

Yeah, completly agree with you.
I tried it again after a 10 years hiatus and… Forgot how good and game is and… how time consuming as well.
I stumbled upon an expression summarising it perfectly: EVE isn’t a video game, it’s a hobby. Requiring time and dedication.
It was fine during college, but now… Not anymore.
100 bucks is nothing for the amount of time eve players play.
Edit Isk for $ has been in the game for years and years, it’s no secret.
In my experience it has also never been necessary to engage in the microtransactions to have fun.
I played EVE for years in the 2010s. Amazing game. I just don’t have enough time for it anymore.
I played cryptic mmos for a long time and never spent a cent (well for myself we got a lifer for my wife)
Same here. It’s hard or impossible to combine with doing anything in real life.
