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.
I don't really like Thor, and he's not being entirely truthful here, but CCP is full of shit. EVE has seen better days.
I haven't played EVE for a long time and I only know from other people how it's presently going (not good, sounds like, which isn't much of a change), but damn does that company have some toxic stans.
Reminds me of the types of people I participated in wars against, back against BoB and their numerous (described by them) "pets." They were almost always insufferably smug pieces of shit that ran interference for CCP's worst behaviors, usually with excessive use of eyeroll emojis on the forums.
