In a recent investigative report EVE Onion found that more and more corporations are catering to the casual players of gaming. If you take a look at the r/evejobs board you will find that most of the corporations looking for members are using phrases like “Real Life comes first” or “Caters to IRL”.
As the average age of the EVE Online player continues to trend upward so does their focus away from the game. Spouses, children, jobs, education, and “gym time” are all competing for their precious hours of the day. This has led to capsuleers having to choose between feeding their babies when they cry or logging in for that red pen strategic operation they’ve been looking forward to all day.
We at EVE Onion believe this is the root cause of EVE’s decline in recent years. People are choosing real life over space pixels. Spreadsheets in space are being set aside so people can have meaningful interactions under the guise of “family time” or “one in a lifetime moments”.
We want to be the first news agency to say what CCP Games and the hardcore gamers of EVE Online won’t say. STOP CARING SO MUCH ABOUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD!
You heard us right. File for divorce, put the kids up for adoption, let the dog forage for food, and for Bob’s and Zorya’s sakes just get on unemployment or fake a disability. EVE Online needs dedicated gamers who are willing to go the extra mile and just live life one downtime to the next.
If you can’t commit then quit should be the motto coming from every EVE Online loving player that still finds the money or time to login!
Keep up the excellent reporting!
Garbage
Don’t quit your day job.
