Every forum I can find about EVE right now talks about how the game basically died in 2021, nullsec hasn't changed in years, the alliances only fight each other for the sake of it at this point, and in 2021 the game coofed so hard that numbers drop below 10,000 during the USTZ (which, to put into perspective, means that there fewer than 2 players per system). It's even worse when you realize most people are boxing 40+ accounts at a time running industry jobs and none of them are human players.
Nobody can even explain to people why they should start playing. Apparently all the PvP is in this fraction wars shit which is just players shooting each other for the sake of farming points. That is total contradiction to the purpose of a player ran economy.
Just sad dude.
P.S. I listened to the entire thing at 2x and watched most of it. It's OK. It's kind of interesting but there's no real payoff, no moral, nor real build-up. The least satisfying kind of ending that is simply "and so it continues, but less interestingly". The early parts are much stronger with some introspection into how the company basically got a big head thinking they revolutionized gaming forever. The bookend of the story is "the big alliances got really bored one day and decided to fight Goon, who won. It cost a million dollars and took 2 years."
