Anyone under 40 who sees that just turns their head away in embarrassment and closes the launcher. Please. And while we are at it. maybe get off the Pedo-image generator site finally. it’s really overdue. Concentrate your social media presence on insta, shorts, tiktoc, bluesky, whatever else. unless you like not gaining any new players before your old ones all die of old age. ---

Not a single person is closing the launcher because of a boomer-oriented ad in the corner, please find something that actually matters to give a ■■■■ about. ---

Eve requires an attention span greater than that of a goldfish, and few under 40 can read anything longer than a headline. ---

So? It’s oriented towards people who _are_ on FB. I’d understand the outrage if CCP made it a requirement to have a facebook account in order to play EVE. But it’s just a page over there that you can follow to get updates/content, if you’re already on it anway. Instagram is owned by FB, so I fail to understand what the difference is between the two, aside from the fact that one of them is more annoying depending on who you ask. ---

I don’t Facebook, I think people Facebooking are insane. I also don’t like MySpace, is that still a thing? I remember on MySpace there was a real hairy guy – maybe in his mid 30’s – who said he identified as a 17 year old girl. These social media sites are full of weirdos! That is the problem with the world today. Too many weirdos. Social media attracts weirdos like bees to honey. Look at the weirdos Musk or Bezos on X. Facebook has that weirdo Zuckerberg. This is why I don’t like Facebook, LinkedIn, IMVU, Instagram, Reddit, or any social media sites. Nope. ---

You asked the quedtion. Don’t pretend now that you weren’t dying to know. You acted like you really needed this info. The truth is that you’re just upset that you didn’t get the answer you wanted. I guess your feelings got in the way. ---
