I'd think the Elite Dangerous creators would be more worried than CCP, EVE may not have that much overlap with SC's crowd. Granted am assuming much like SC won't have EVE's level of item loss or player impact on the economy. Also some people like being capital ship drivers Always a nonsensical complaint about not being able to pilot the ships directly, trying to steer a Rokh around sounds even more tedious.
CCP should be worried for other reasons, but even so, remarkable they've gone 15 years.
