God damn Eve is pretty. I guess it goes to show that despite all the work that's gone into the FSO engine there're some things that are just done better by a more modern engine.
Incidentally, that space station is very cool.

Argh, if only it wasn't a pay-to-play MMO...

Well, I don't drive.
And I don't like MMOs because...well...it's a long story.

Very pretty, and yet I still don't have any reason to play...
When it comes to games, I want to buy it once. None of this 'buy it once but then have to continue paying to have the privilege of playing a game that I purchased"... Perhaps in the case of EvE it's just that you're paying again and again for a game. Once I buy a game I shouldn't have to pay again...
Certainly it's a big cash cow for the company and "provides a super-duper game experience" but I'll live somehow not continuously paying a company for the privilege to play a game.
I don't think I can overly belabor the point.

Many gamers buy a new game for their XBOX or PS3 every month or so - So, that sets them back about $50 for a game that only lasts 8-10 hours. EVE is a game that, if you are content with, you can play indefinitely for years without ever having to pick up another game - all the while saving money. IMHO EVE provides an experience unlike any other MMO I have seen (despite what Zero Punctuation has to say on the subject) and is a lot cheaper than buying a new game every month. Heck, even if you buy only 5 games a year your still paying more than you would with a EVE subscription.
Oh and btw, you can use INGAME currency to pay for EVE - You don't even need to pay real cash if you've got the ISK.

Every time you buy a new game, those who dislike pay-for-play, I want a little mocking voice to tell you "that would have paided for three months of EVE".

Oh, you can pay with in-game money? That's interesting.
Yeah, it may be cheaper for many people, but I'm like, really damn cheap. I buy on average 0.5 games per year, and subsist by modding the f### out of every game I have so by the end of it, I rack up 50+ hours on it. (Hell, I got 37 Hours on the SW:EaW Demo (which was free), 515 on the full game ($60), and a further 335 hours on its expansion ($30)!)
And that's only when I remembered to log onto XFire to track my hours. I'm guessing I have ~100 more unlogged between the three.
I play -way- more than 8-10 hours per game.
I don't own a console because I know it's waste of money. If I can't get at least 20 hours out of a game, I consider myself a failure.
