So … what about the abusive pay for play system hidden in a free to play , were you need to spend hundred of dollars to be hable to have some decent content?. Making it open source is just a strategy add content … Without spending a penny .
you're really going to criticise the game that lets you earn IRL money by obtaining in game currency and selling it by saying it's an "abusive pay for play system"
yeah, eve is pay to play alright. Get paid to play that is.
I played eve online for 500 hours while actively playing in nullsec on highest earning content for my current skill points (which are IRL timegated for those who dont know) and never managed to pay the premium subscribtion with the in game currency I made. (I could afford at the very least like 7 days) Paid to play is for like less than a percent of players
This was before they added F2P, but ten minutes a day of checking my two hisec market alts (who didn't have a lot of skills because it meant pausing my main's training) was making me just enough to pay for my account and there was room to expand further. Granted, it did take me several months of trading to build up enough funds to support this operation, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect to do this on day 1.
