Wow, thank you. Very thorough explanation.

I’m asking because I started playing Eve Online a couple of weeks ago, and I wonder why would anyone need another space sim game, because I don’t think anyone can fully grasp Eve. But apparently they are very different in how the game feels, handles, and plays.

I think Eve’s monetisation is a bit less predatory than what Star Citizen offers.

Certainly so. Though, make no mistake - Eve does collect an enormous revenue and has a userbase willing to pay.

Some legendary battles had tens of thousands of dollars in ISK losses.
