    It’s a bummer. Eve is special but CCP hasn’t seem intent on running a healthy game in over 10 years at least. I’m not sure if it was PA or their choice to launch a Vr game I always wanted to try that. And I do think they should pursue the mixed game approach. Playing Dust back in the day with friends and piloting a destroyer to do orbital bombardments was something special.

    I digress I hope Eve and CCP are ok in the long run.

      My sort of turning point where I stopped playing was when they added the ability to just inject skill points.

      It was a much more interesting and fun game to me when there was no way around the time investment of learning skills.

    EVE will always have a place in my heart. At my peak I had 4 accounts and was one of the directors of a corp. It also meant I was putting in about 3-4 hours a day on weekdays and more on weekends.

    There are probably better owners than Pearl Abyss, so in a sense that could be a reason for hope. Though I don’t know how much of a hand they have had with all the crap CCP have failed with over the years. Peak EVE was so amazing, but I honestly have no real idea how or if it’s possible to get back to that.

      On the other hand, the new blockchain game they just released had funding from Marc Andreessen. So, color me skeptical.

        Yeah it’s convenient to blame Pearl Abyss for everything wrong with EVE, but truthfully CCP were making moves of dubious quality way before they got bought up by them.
