An extremely deep immersive Universe that requires hundreds of hours of guides and youtube videos to learn. On top of that training your character takes Real time not in game time so you can't get good by putting in a lot of hours, unless you spend a lot of money. That being said it's a very rewarding game at times.

Very PVP based because you can be killed everywhere. Learning how to survive more often is a skill in itself. It's hard to trust anyone in this game so if you find people to play with and build with (which i recommend), don't trust them too much.
BEWARE! The fact everyone is behind a screen truly brings out the worst out in people, and the people in this game take their second life in EVE very very seriously. No lie some of the most toxic people i have EVER seen! This is offset by some people that give the absolute BEST help and introduction, but you're lucky to come across someone like that.
One time i listed my 330 million ship as 33 million accidentally (which was a huge sum for a beginner like me) and after i messaged the guy he was extremely friendly and sent me the rest of the money.

I'm pretty sure it's only played by adults because of the time and money required to get to the mid-game.
Regarding CCP games the developer, don't expect them to care, they have been trying to move away from EVE for the past 15 years, they're absolutely sick and tired of working on it, but all their other projects fail miserably.
Don't fly what you can't afford to lose, and if you can buy some starting funds or get them from a helping person. Not having to worry about losing some ships early on while you learn can make ALL the difference in your experience in this game. I would advise to not immediately try and get into Industry or Marketplace because it's one of the hardest things to get into because of the competition you have from well established manufacturers and traders.
Multiboxing is allowed and very much encouraged. EVE is pay to win all the way to the top :)

Bottom line: If you are unemployed, have disposable income, and are a sociopath (i'm joking, please stay away, we already have enough of them), this is the game for you!
