EVE is a niche game, the reason itās still around is BECAUSE itās a niche game, not in spite of it. If it had been a generic run of the mill MMO itād have withered like they all have and contrary to the doom sayers itās doing fine.
Its niche is āopen world pvp sandbox where you have to be prepared to thriveā. People might not agree to that, not like it or not actively play that way but that is what EVE IS. So you better get used to it and adapt to it orā¦ wallow in sorrow for years or just quit right away.
Nothing personal but the core concept of niche is that most people wonāt like it but the ones that do will flock to it and stick to it, even more so because thereās simply no competition in that regard. Not liking it is FINE, itās certainly not everyoneās cup of tea and that is the point.
Each new player who didnāt have beforehand info or had someone properly introduce them to EVE will go through the phase youāre going to, all of them. If they say they didnāt theyāre either lying or alts.
I myself got chased into low sec, eons ago, by GHSC which by that time were still pretty much nobodies, they wardecced our corp and our CEO told us to go rat in low sec. Thatās where I ran into Ander and friends, at first they wanted to ransom me but we got into a chat and eventually they let me go. Still due to the dec and me being clueless it got to the point where I decided this game, or rather a game, just wasnāt worth the stress and rage and I quit. I went back to my MMO of choice at that time (DAoC), a few months later it started to itch and I started to look into EVE again: planning, scheming, vowing my revenge, determined to do BETTER!
EVE is niche, itās Marmite. You either hate it or love it, BEING niche most people hate it and as such it doesnāt get great reviews. That matters not because itās not about those people, they never were interested in an open pvp sandbox, they just wanted a shiny spaceship game and that is not what EVE is. Which is, again, FINE.
So get used to it, adapt by thinking ahead and realising that the only thing you have to do to counter those āissuesā you pointed out is by laughing at the clowns whoās only option in this game seems to be toying with newbies.
EVE is a meritocracy: sink or swim, fight or flight. Asking for that to change is not only selfish itās also based on a lack of understanding of what EVE IS.

ye call people like āmeā (whatever that means) āworse than pedophilesā which means that you have actually zero empathy for anyone who is being exploited, harmed, hurt and abused. zero. makes it quite clear that ya actually have zero sense for pain at all and i wish for ya that someone teaches ya how actual physical pain feels like, so ya learn to be a decent human being instead of whatever it is you are.
it aināt me whoās the worse scum around here. how about ya go out there and talk to real people, from which ya canāt hide behind a screen, telling them that ya think theyāre worse then pedophiles. then please send me the pics of yer broken nose. iād appreciate it.

Thereās a list of failed projects that CCP most likely financed with the money they made of EvE. On top of that they still managed to get $40mil in their savings account before PA acquired the studio. And you still want to question the profitability/significance of EvEā¦?

EvE is very small game in very big market. And with steady decline in population and, especially in paying customers base it will become even smaller. Letās say there is 200 000 paying customers, 15$ each, itās $3 mil per month before expenses. It will take 150 months to get money back on clear income, given we donāt have further population decline and having all expenses ignored.After all expenses it will be 20 years easely. 20 years to get money back from investment to 15 years old game, you really believe someone in clear mind will do such thing?
PA donāt need EvE in itās current state. It will change or it wil be put down.
Iām not interested in forum PvP, sorry.
No, letās prove.
Where are you getting these figures from?

You make it sound like EvE is the only thing CCP has to offer a company like PA.
Then why are you posting on hereā¦?

This is point of my discussion with Ramona McCandless, Iām pretty sure, PA got CCP for other things, not for EvE Online.
Forums for discussions, exchanging points of view, having good read and pleasant conversations,
But you arenāt providing any reasoning, youre just making up numbers to justify your position

Someone else done same research, this is nice.
If we look into this link, we found āprofits of[$20.7 millionā for year 2016. Or $1.7 mil of profit per month.
Or freaking 264 months (22 years) for PA to just get money back.
You got it wrong once again. But my english is not good enough to explain you why.
btw this thread is really off topic now. Should we call ISD Buldath ?

If they already spent their money, why would they cancel something that earns them profits?
