I could talk for weeks about the sheer nepotistic corrupt bullshit in the early years, when an Ayn Rand roleplaying group (not kidding, they were called "Taggart Transdimensional") got unique advantages from the devs that no one else could access all in the name of "roleplaying." They conjured up fictional characters that gave those advantages (the very first and exclusive t2 mining laser blueprint originals) to their Randroid favorites, and over and over again changed the rules to fit their favorites, year after year.

The dystopian corruption of the setting was coming from inside the development company.

    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. ancaptain
