You know the answer to that.

We would rather not have a million 12-year-olds screaming âfa&&otâ and something about your mom into their headsets every 5 seconds, thank you very muchâŚ

Such is the duality of the EVE player. We want CCP to focus on EVE and put other projects secondary to their only successful product, but weâre also unwilling to accept changes that would worsen the game and bring it closer to mainstream appeal. Itâs not an enviable position, theyâve only ever made one good game, but that game is very niche and hasnât grown in ages.

Letâs be honest. Eve has 10k multiboxing 30-50 year-olds that do the exact same thing.
IIRC the median player has only one account, but the average accounts per player is three. Theyâve brought these stats up at fanfests over the years.
Nor does it need to. EVE has only ever had 65k concurrent players at its peak, yet it has still generated enough revenue to keep running for over 22 years. EVE is the longest-running space MMO, and I believe 3rd-longest running MMO in gaming history. Being niche is what has kept it alive this longâŚ

If the current generation of gamers had their way, they would run EVE into the ground in less than a yearâŚ

I donât disagree. But weâre players, our priorities are quite different from those of the shareholders.
Didnât work in your case

CCP makes stable $$$, Thatâs all that counts to them.
Just a cash grab now like many other games.
Like every other game, you mean?
Everythingâs a cash grab, now, from AAA studios down to the one-man-team indie developers.
I stand corrected! 
You can only blame new players with their parents CC. Doesnât matter the game. And as soon as they fail at that game, they ask for more $$$ to fail at another game. Game companies rake in $$$ and were stuck with an upcoming workforce too lazy to work. Here kid, donât bother me. Paying your kid to leave you alone seems to be the parenting model these days.
Were stuck. I want to wave the new players suck flag. But whatâs the point? Kids these days are too lazy to even have sex. Maybe thatâs a good thing? 
MehâŚ
This isnât the case at all.
Responsibility lies solely in the hands of Gamers who never pushed back against the predatory marketing. Gamers kept buying everything that was pushed them, so publishers never had to really step back on it. Who cares what a few thousand complainers say when millions more are still throwing money at them?
How is not what I just said?
You have a bunch of kids who want an award for just showing up with $$$ to buy into a game without wanting to make any effort. Hence, they spend to more thinking it will buy the experience which it will not.
Because youâre blaming the people who simply donât know any better. Those kids are the children and grandchildren of the people responsible for the continuance of the predatory marketing, it has nothing to do with them.
Most gamers have bent over and bought every monetization scheme theyâve concocted for over a quarter of a century. No one told Bethesda to f*ck off over horse armor, and itâs only gone downhill from there because yâall keep buying the sh!t.
Blame the co as much as you want. I canât blame them for âThe one born every minute.â cash grab. The rest of us suffer for that though.
