I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing.
Do you have a similar game?
Stellaris. Extremely long games, a lot to learn… …and they change it. Mechanics that worked before stop working. The bad parts are added to same become a DLC, the good parts disappear or are algal paved in DLC. Overall, it just doesn’t feel worth it.
Stellar is is fun but I HATE how they put the DLC stuff in the main game as a teaser and then dont let you experience it until you pay. It’s asinine and I can’t think of another game that does that.
I only ever played a few hours and had it on my “come back to” list. I’ll have to check into what you said and maybe move it to “won’t play”
