GamesBeat asks: Why do people like Eve Online?

GamesBeat asks: Why do people like Eve Online?

The GamesBeat staff doesn't understand the appeal of Eve Online. So we decided to ask our readers why they like the game so much -- and these are their responses.

Eve Online war fleet After discussing Eve Online’s most recent epic battle, we came to a realization: None of us at GamesBeat really “get” it. Some of us have tried Eve before, but for one reason or another, we stopped playing. We couldn’t understand how a complex, difficult, and (seemingly) boring game could have such dedicated players behind it.

At first, we were going to interview hardcore veteran players about why they love it so much. But we thought it’d be more fun to ask you, our GamesBeat readers, instead. So we posed the question to our social networks, where you responded in droves.
