EVE is a very different game with very different requirements. When you boil it all down, EVE has a few graphics for different ships and a few different graphics for different systems, stations, etc. Sure, you customize your character, then that's the last you actually see it. It's hidden away inside a pod, inside a ship. It doesn't run around planets and shoot things or anything else.
Don't get me wrong. I like EVE. I have played EVE before and I will probably play EVE again. But it is a very different game, both from the player side and from the program side, and you just can't compare them.
