This is a 2 year old perspective, mind you. Most people I know that played it have stopped now.

It's not a fucking novel ffs. I didn't write War and Peace there. You wouldn't have had to repeat yourself if you had kept reading. Thanks for having such an insultingly transparent opinion of me.
They have delivered plenty, and when it looked like they weren't, the players organized a riot and started mass cancelling subscriptions. It resulted in the direct restructuring of teams within CCP, and a massive shift in company motto, as well as the firing and reassignment of a large amount of people. Again, their mistakes led to them realizing they lost focus, so they listened to what their players wanted, and went back to making internet spaceships the main priority. Since then, they've climbed back up to even higher subscription numbers than before it happened.
Hell, there is even a council of players elected by the playerbase which has been utilized in communicating player desires to the development team. They get flown to Iceland once or twice a year to meet with CCP and discuss the direction of the game and bring issues to their attention. How many companies would allow their players to have that big of an impact on what happens in the game? Sure, CCP has the final word in what goes in or not, but that is some real effort put into listening to player suggestions.
This is why they deserve to be a giant. They put big companies like EA/Activision to shame with how much they care about the quality of their product.
