@Bizzll I played EVE for several months about a year ago. I played BSGO today for about 4 hours. BSGO is EVE-lite. It's free so I'd recommend giving it a shot when you have a couple hours to dedicate to it. If you don't like it, I seriously doubt you'll like EVE. If it's right up your alley, then stick with it. If you get bored after 3 or 4 hours and realize you've seen most of what it has to offer and wish it went deeper, go buy EVE immediately.
It's free because the fans really wanted to continue playing online with each other. There isn't and won't be a subscription, micro-transactions for items, or ads (@Levi). In fact, the plan is to open source as much of the tools and engine as possible so that players can create their own ages and puzzles.
