I think it’s fair to say that EVE Online developer CCP Games hasn’t had much success when it comes to avatar-based gameplay. The studio’s first attempt at a first person shooter with DUST 514 launched to a resounding thud as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, and the expansion that added avatar-based gameplay to EVE itself caused mass in-game riots. Things seemed to be getting back on track about two years ago when CCP showed off a prototype of a new PC-based EVE Online FPS codenamed Project Nova, but now it too seems to be struggling.
