Fredrik Knudsen's video on EVE is really fascinating stuff, though more focused on in-universe events. I don't recall him even bringing this up in the vid which seems like a huge miss, I just recall various claims of admins giving benefits to certain users unchecked for a while. Also tracks with the monetization changes the devs made that universally pissed off their whole playerbase, unironic lolbertarians are wild
Oh that video is amazing and it recapped so much that I didn't see for myself after I quit the game in disgust around "Tyrannus," which was appropriately named because it was a staggering number of "protect the country club" rules changes to make sure the company's favorite in-game failsons were protected from invasion in a way where they could just press a button and prevent invasions entirely as long as they were rich enough.
there was your mistake
You fucking nerds made a 5 hour video about a fucking game
I'm glad I left. It started as a Randroid wet dream, even in its fiction, and that was always the point.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
