EVE Frontier is a weird game. It's had an uphill battle winning goodwill from EVE Online's infamously dedicated community, running into a refrain of, "Why should I play this crypto spinoff thing?" It's gone through traditionally closed, often unsightly stages of early development in full public view, with players offering feedback along the way.
It has justified its blockchain integration, to my eye, by repeatedly demonstrating a freeform, server-side modding system unlike anything I've seen in an MMO—or really any game—and it's stuck with the controversial tech base well after the early 2020s crypto gaming gold rush ended.
