The Amway of videogames.
Worse. The die-hards may as well be cultists at this point. They delude themselves as hard as MAGAts. (I know a few guys who’ve been off-and-on players for years, and they still try to convince me to join them!)

As someone who has exactly one ship in the game, it’s not ‘bad’ if you just want to go ‘live a space life’ and do stuff like that.
It’s cool you can go do stuff in-world and not have loading screens, and just fly around ships doing trading, PVE missions, or doing space stuff, it’s enjoyable. There’s not much else to it, but if that’s what you expect it’s fun.
I don’t get the cultists thinking they’re playing the game in some future state where it’s anything more than that, though. I spent like… fuck, maybe 100 bucks? For the hours I put in, I enjoyed it but I’d never put in the 10s of thousands of dollars other people have dumped into this game.
