It Could Keep Players Remain

It's not that tough to make a mobile client for an existing game, and have it connect to the same servers, in precisely the same universe. It is more of a UX/UI difficulty than a thorny one. Even outsourcing the game like they did, it still doesn't make sense.
The only way this entire business adventure makes sense (and I guarantee the only way it'd have gotten via its greenlight process at CCP) is if the goal was to create a version that was balanced therefore significantly different from the original that it couldn't be integrated into the existing universe. And the only way you get this approved is whether you are able to convince them that doing this can bring in a new playerbase that is not currently paying for EO.
Regardless of what their public roadmap states, or even the positive opinions of current EO players, it doesn't make financial or business -- or frankly, even"create existing customers happy" sense -- to earn EE play precisely like EO over time. So that the EO gamers in here saying"EE is going to end up just like EO because those are the principles, so deal" do not appear to understand there's no compelling reason for them to really do that.
