That is what they did. The demo that was put together in the end, after multiple builds and concepts, was so pathethic they throwed it into trash bin, fired people and started another project.
They are good at starting projects, less good at actually managing them and finishing.
The difference is Blizzard is trash these days like Bethesda. EE was the most impressive mobile game Iāve ever seen, it had actual gameplay. Itās like Eve for people that have lives.
Even for a non mobile game its impressive. It has everything eve has except more QoL which makes the game much more accessible. Its going to have a higher population then eve online once it launches.
No. I donāt play any mobile games and never plan on doing so. I have no desire to play any game on a tiny screen with a crappy control interface designed to get around not having a real keyboard/mouse/controller. I am not alone either as I know many people with the same sentiment. I think PC and console games are here to stay a little longer as they have a superior gaming experience.
I played it during December. It actually convinced me to come back to Eve. Theyāve tried to simplify some things, and that may or may not go over well with Eve veterans. Iāll prob play it the same way I play Eve, login to set skills, dabble here and there in anomalies, and call it a day.
I do hate mobile games, but this one is either done well enough, or at least hit a bit of nostalgia. January is the first month Iāve been subbed to Eve since 2013ish, so there is that.
