It's even funnier reading these threads as an eve player

Practically every month since 2003:

"When Star Wars Galaxies comes out, EVE servers will be empty"
"When World of Warcraft comes out, EVE servers will be empty"
"When Infinity: The Quest for Earth comes out, EVE servers will be empty" (This one gets bonus points for how many times its been brought up despite never being released)

And so many more I can't even remember now

Just add to that list every single MMO-like game, especially with a sci-fi angle, released between 2003 and today, and imagine some insightful prophetic genius posting a smug thread about how its going to kill eve

Currently, Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen are both going to kill EVE Online no seriously for real this time guys i know what i'm talking about everyone I know is leaving to play those games and EVE will never recover

Don't worry, one day one of you chicken littles will be right, you know what they say about broken clocks

Yet people keep posting and just replacing x with the next game to come out... It's cute. Well between GTA, Destiny, and possibly minecraft... Most of the vets have moved on. There might be 200-300 vets left... Rest is mainly a completely new cycled in population. Player retention is a massive issue for DUST... Be it short term or long term.

Believe it or not, a lot more people own ps3 than ps4. Also, a bunch of NEW ps3 owners in third world countries just got in to ps3 gaming. The most profitable market for dust is still ps3. Nah the most profitable market will be running on both Xbox1 and PS4... Like Planetside 2 and DC universe will. The harder choices is how CCP will deal with populations from both.

Everything in EVE currently that makes you go "OooOoOo' "AhhHhHh" Was done before 2008. Market, 0.0, POS, Sov warfare, Bounty system, Corporation wars, Faction Warfare, Capital ships and the jump systems. The last thing they implemented of note was Station Walking... A feature talked about since 2003.. But they massively under delivered on the feature not giving us any Social spaces at the same time as implementing an Aurum market on a subscription based game to try and milk the playerbase for more cash while not even delivering the feature they promised for years. This is known as "Burn Jita" where there where mass player protests, Mass Subscription cancellations from notable community leaders... And even around 15 developers quitting CCP in protest... And the old guard developers that where there since the start. EVE has stagnated and sat in what was created nearly 6 years ago... Players have had enough and are moving on... The odd new ship is doing what a new class does in any MMO... brings little to no excitement and what it does bring is momentary. EVE is loosing subscriptions at an alarming rate... And they have never experienced actually gowing backwards in active subscribers until 2014.. and now 2015.. If they don't change something drastically within this year or the next which would probably cost 50-100 million in development atleast? They will just have a slow player decline into obscurity. And with an investment firm owning CCP now? They don't see investing money into game development as a sure way to make money... In fact it is the most risky investment plan in all of gaming... Welcome to the new game development scene, Where gaming is now worth more then Movies and Music industries combined.. Development studios are being bought up everywhere... Which is sad, Game development is an art that is created by artists... Trying to fit an artist into a corporate box is exactly the result of what we have for a games that come out today.
