My guess is that CCP realized how much it would cost, and how much work it would take to convert EVE from what it is to a first person experience, and decided to cash out.
Battlefield 2, and its mod Project Reality was the best shooter experience for me, nothing else has matched it. The current crop of Battlefield games are too much like CoD for my tastes. Shooters are a thing of the past for me.
EDIT: In my rum fueled stupor, I misunderstood the subject of this thread.
I do think full on 80's style glam rock mega perms need to be in game, though.
