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?

Clash Royale. I was in a clan that spanned multiple mobile games but I was the creator/leader for Clash Royale. The game has transitioned to P2W the last few years. I only keep it installed as a time waster and because of the clan.

transitioned? I played it in 2017 and had to spend more than 70โ‚ฌ so I got some decent cards

It was certainly somewhat P2W since the beginning but it wasn't until Clan Wars 2 that it felt fully P2W for me. Before that you only needed one maxed deck which didn't take that long. Then came lvl14, then champions and lvl 15. Now evolutions are the next broken P2W mechanic. I haven't financially supported the game in years but someone must be giving them money and reinforcing these awful decisions.
