I gotta say it should be around for a darn long time. There are shootier (IMHO that is) games that have been around for ages, no reason that EVE should go away when those POSes are still around. Subjective judgement of course.
But then again, it occurs to me that EVE management is abit too much on the passionate side and not enough on the professional side, so I'd say that if EVE should die, it'd be because of misjudgement by management, not because this piece of software was not deserving of survival.

No later than some time after devs like Tomb, Oveur, etc. retire.
Oh but didn't you know, when people take an extraordinary vision and make it into a tangible reality, and get other people sucked into it, then they can't retire. Only death will release them from this incredible bond that they have forged.
:) <3 EVE creators.

... and with the same arrogant stance (note Kieron's remarks, inviting people to leave if they don't like the way CCP handles things) ...
I totally agree. I have no idea what the social mores in Iceland is like, but I was shocked that a representative of any commercial entity was allowed to talk to its customer base in this manner. I can think of 10 seperate occasions where people have lost their jobs over much lesser transgressions.
This sort of institutional arrogance absolutely will destroy the company if left to fester. The moment you start thinking that your customers' money is unworthy of your own time and efforts, well, that's the end. No one in their right mind who recieved such a blatant slap on the face would stay and continue putting money into your pocket.
I for one have always had the nagging feeling that CCP censors its customers, and that we, the people who pay for this product have too little means of discourse should something go wrong. CCP's recent actions and stance have reinforced my view.
CCP really needs some internal policing and some checks and balances. Either they administer their own bitter pill, or the nature of the free global market will punish them severly.
