The problem facing
EVE Online’s in-game store, according to the most recent development update, was that it was stuffed full of cosmetic items and was thus difficult to navigate. So what’s the solution? Provide better navigation tools? Offer more robust searches and groupings? Or just
retire all of the things that have been in the store for a while and ensure that anything new would be retired after a short span of time as well, thus pressuring you to buy it right away? That last one is the one with the link and it requires the least work, so take a guess.
Various sales will be held over the next few month as the team retires more or less all of the cosmetic skins in the shop right now; future skins will have a lifespan of three months before they are also retired. There’s the promise that some of these items may return at various points in the future for seasonal packs, but obviously, the emphasis is on buying any skins immediately if you want them in the future. Which, we must concede, will definitely make the store easier to navigate.
