Will EVE become the "gaming singularity"?

Could EVE become the "gaming singularity"?

Could EVE become the top strategy game, combined with Legion (the top sandbox FPS), combined with Valkyrie (the top VR game) which then combined with WiS (which is the top social game). With all of these different platforms combined, it is entirely possible that EVE becomes the single game that everybody plays - all interconnected in the same universe?

The prospect is mindblowing. EVE could overtake Facebook, Twitter and Google as the most important platform of the century?

I'm literally shaking with excitement.

It'd be interesting to hear your thoughts.

All indications point to no. Or yes. It seems to change when I shake this thing.

Not while there are people who can barely manage farmville. That said it certainly is an interesting future and the eve universe will gain a much broader fanbase where many people will only engage with one part of it. Even if someone only ever played Legion then they are still part of the universe, an exciting prospect.

Well, I don't think it'll be something as massive as Facebook, considering the consensus is that Facebook is filled with mentally challenged people.
I avoid facebook as a social gathering spot, but I do have one that I use for my Eve persona...sort of.

I think it will be great if/when they implement all 3 gamestyles into one big sandbox.

This is as nice as I get. Best quote ever https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4137165#post4137165

No, because of :CCP:

Let's face it, CCP doesn't exactly have a stellar history of excellent strategic decisions.

Really? Because in my books, CCP has been making all the right decisions. It's just the players that are afraid of change and force CCP to backtrack on those decisions.

We were gonna have corporate briefing rooms where corporations could sit in actual boardrooms with their directorate. We were gonna have player bars, casions, ect...

But now, CCP is returning on that great path again. I can't wait for the day where I can undock from a player carrier in a Valkyrie fighter and swoop down onto the local planet and shoot down a load of Legion players.

The potential is mindblowing when you think about it.

I think it is more likely that EVE could be the MMO phenomenon that exceeds the longevity of UO.

We were also going to get microtransactions. Oh, Super leet faction ammo? Why, that'll be $10 bucks for a stack of 1k!

If CCP doesnt understand their customers then they should not be make decisions that effect them.

Seriously, dont blame the paying customer.

Really? The biggest failures recently were developing Dust exclusively for an old console and spending a lot of money on an MMO that was cancelled (WoD)

Well lets see...lets add up the number of ppl playing eve, dust, and extrapolate and predict the number of potential players for VR and WiS. Even the most generous estimates would yeild a resounding "No".

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

So, every time people have complained about a change prior to implementation they have been correct?

Or is there a human trait to like things the way they were?

Less than was taken before creating his character...

the blue donut of null will kill this game long before any of that happens. Dust is indicative of this already. Just look at the stats, a single mega corp owns pretty much all the territory, the same is / will soon be true of null and then EvE will suck huge donmkey testes from then on
