      It used to be a classic phrase in the eve forums when I was playing long ago.

      If I was unemployed and didn’t have anything to do in real life, I would play eve. It’s a great game for people who wants to become more and more powerful in a virtual galaxy at the expense of it consuming all your life.

        Yeah, completly agree with you.

        I tried it again after a 10 years hiatus and… Forgot how good and game is and… how time consuming as well.

        I stumbled upon an expression summarising it perfectly: EVE isn’t a video game, it’s a hobby. Requiring time and dedication.

        It was fine during college, but now… Not anymore.
