I’d be down for something like this on a PVE realm where your own actions are typically what lead to your death. I’m less enthusiastic on a PvP realm with permadeath but I understand the current version isn’t for me and that’s okay too.

A game came out recently (called Palia) that essentially forces you to make “pals” to achieve certain things and even be able to gather certain resources. My other half has been playing it and was complaining about the “forced” interaction in the game and I told her similar things to what you’re saying about Eve, that interacting with others to achieve goals will actually become the best part of the game in the long term.
Pro-tip: this isn’t a queue because the game is wildly popular, it’s a queue because of under-provisioning and poorly designed services that can’t handle a normal load.
It isn’t early access if anyone can buy it and they’re charging money for it, it’s a released product.
They just released the minimum viable product even though the actual devs probably told them not to.
I’ve also been playing Eve like 10+ years myself and every time I think I’ve won it I haven’t yet.
One of the best aspects of the game is the community around it though, rather than the actual gameplay. In fact, a lot of the gameplay is rather stale these days.
Yeah but Eve Online isn’t a good game either 😋
My biggest problem with Proton is the price. Their family plan is $AUD800 (479 Euro) for 2 years at the cheapest price which is obscene. I can get a family plan with the likes of Microsoft (ugh) for just $260/2 years and it includes Office 365 as well.
How much do you care about the actual combat?
There are an absolute ton of games on Steam that cover the exploring and doing quests vibe and the amount of combat in them varies from none to some but not the main focus of the game. Here’s a few I’ve tried:
- https://store.steampowered.com/app/1307550/Craftopia/
- https://store.steampowered.com/app/1401590/Disney_Dreamlight_Valley/
- https://store.steampowered.com/app/361420/ASTRONEER/

Also practically anything in the survival and MMORPG genres are full of just chilling in the world content too.
The situation kind of reminds me of titty streamers on Twitch. Everybody seemingly “hates” them yet they make an absolute killing regardless, because the silent majority think it’s perfectly fine.
Tried the official Reddit app today and boy people weren’t joking when they say it sucks. I thought it’d just be the usual experience plus some ads but I was totally wrong.
The official app doesn’t respect your subreddit subscriptions at all, instead force feeding you feeds of whatever their algorithm thinks will drive maximum engagement just like a shit version of Facebook. The “hot” etc functionality is completely stipped from it entirely.
Guess I’m here to stay on the fediverse now.
Worth noting that the Microsoft plan comes with 6 users too, the value is well beyond what Proton offer.
