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?

Any free to play game. TF2 was mine, I spent stupid amounts of money on it as a kid because it had the addictive loot crate dark patterns. I don't play games like that anymore.

Overwatch was it for me. Loved the game for the first couple of years, then Blizzard did typical Blizzard things and it's a disgusting pile of micro (macro) transaction shit now. I hate the battle pass format so many games are trying to incorporate now.

It was a fun game, just wish it decoupled from the skins and hats.

I played ow a lot and I was pretty excited when ow2 was announced. Now I want overwatch 1 back. Overwatch 2 is just the first game but with a battle pass and a bunch of microtransactions. I stopped playing it.

Same with me. Made it even worse Thay I gave my son my overwatch account when we switched to 2 and it would've cost me a years salary to get them all back lol

Dude, I sank so many hours into TF2 in college. I would probably have graduated Summa if I had used that time for studying instead, but hey, I was fantastic at headshots with the sniper by the time I left.
