I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I just love this game. I don’t have the time to play but I love reading the weird shit that happens in it.

I don't seem to hear as much anymore, but for a long time this was me with EVE Online.

I never really played that one or followed the stories on it, but I always thought it might be a good fit for me because I remember there were a lot of excited players when Excel integration was announced.

A user base excited about data and spreadsheets? Hell yeah.

I see you enjoy spreadsheets. Have you heard of our Lord and Savior Europa Universalis?

I have not, but you’ve piqued my interest. I’m bookmarking your comment so I remember to look it up.

I kept reading r/Eve for years after winning. Seemed to slow down after the casino war, then the Mittani left. Just today I see that Pandemic Horde is disbanding.

I think eve might be winding down honestly. New player experience is still fucking awful and the people that had time and money in the past to dedicate to eve seem to be moving on.

Not saying it's going to die soon probably just a gradual slow down.

Hasn't it been in a gradual slow down for like a decade? Peak player count was in 2013 apparently.
