Good news, this is already the case, you can choose to pay if you wish, but you don’t have to.

> CCP has DLC in terms of steam

Not in the traditional sense, and it would be hard to implement optional DLC content because of the underlying structure of Eve; a single shard (minus China) universe requires everybody has the same client package

> but at least all i would ask would be to lower the monthly sub.

It’s remained the same since 2003, it’s actually a better deal now than it was then; when you consider that a bill that cost $15 in 2003 should cost $20 in 2019 due to inflation.

No.

I have met the devs and they have lives, families. I free to play change would not support them.

I understand that you want this lovely game for free because free is nice (as long as you ignore how much someone else needs to pay for it)

I don’t ignore that sort of thing and I would like Eve to stay around for a long long time so you play as alpha and I will continue to subscribe and we both can be happy with what we have.

ok?
