It used to be a classic phrase in the eve forums when I was playing long ago.

If I was unemployed and didn't have anything to do in real life, I would play eve. It's a great game for people who wants to become more and more powerful in a virtual galaxy at the expense of it consuming all your life.

Yeah, completly agree with you.

I tried it again after a 10 years hiatus and... Forgot how good and game is and... how time consuming as well.

I stumbled upon an expression summarising it perfectly: EVE isn't a video game, it's a hobby. Requiring time and dedication.

It was fine during college, but now... Not anymore.
