I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it’s a bad game. Don’t do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you’ll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent’s cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

    HA! It’s funny cuz it’s true! Eve is much more fun to read about than to play.

    For me, it’s most mobile games I’ve spent a large amount of time in. Recently it’s Marvel SNAP. Before that it was SWGoH. These games are fun fun and they hook you but eventually you play enough to see all the levers they’re using to manipulate you and it sours. I should really stop playing them… lol

      Ugh, YES to any mobile game. I’ll find a game on my phone, get sucked in, then after like 3 weeks be like… wait have I had ANY fun at all at this? And how many ads have I been shown? How much grinding would be required to finish this game? Then realize I should just uninstall…

      And yeah Eve was crazy, cause I would rarely get the cool thing… but that made it worse. If I never got the cool thing, then it would have been easy to quit. But because I sometimes got a cool thing my brain would say “If you just played more then the ratio of time to cool thing would go up!”

      I was really hooked onto Marvel Snap for the first 4 seasons I played (6-7 total now). The game can be a lot of fun. I haven’t made infinite the last 2 seasons and I stopped paying for premium after my 3rd season. I don’t regret doing that since the game has become more transaction focused and I feel it’s quick turn around makes it more enjoyable than MtG. That said I wouldn’t recommend someone to pickup the game if they are serious about competitive card players.
