EVE Online still serves a very good purpose:
It keeps some of the worst examples of scum, villainy and dedicated douchebaggery all in one game and out of the rest of online entertainment. May EVE continue to prosper and serve this secretly noble purpose.
I played it for about a year or so, and I enjoyed developing a pilot, getting new ships, and becoming a miner. I still have good memories of some of the mining expeditions I did with some of the local gaming crew. But the hate that its more gritty community gets is, I'm sad to say, entirely and completely deserved, and I had to leave it.
I'd looked into Star Citizen for a long time before I began seeing a lot of discussion about how Goonswarm and some of its "fans" were watching the game, primed to jump in, take it over, and turn it into the type of place that they wanted. So.. yeah, I gave up totally on Star Citizen at that point, even before it became the massive money sink and vapor from which it threatens never to arise.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
