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?
It would be possible I think, but corporate greed is a thing.
Like if it was $10 a year to get everything, maybe with a slow free to play option.
But there is also a certain addictiveness of cards actually being rare and getting a rush when opening something cool. I don’t know how you get that without limiting content and user experimentation, which is where most the fun comes from.
