Threats, bribes, and corporate espionage – down the rabbit hole of EVE Online’s metaverse

From USA Today: "CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson is sitting in his office in Iceland one day when the phone rings – it’s a call from a foreign embassy. “Someone from our country has a problem with your game,” the voice on the other end of the line explains.

People are always having problems in EVE Online, a spaceship sim where corporate espionage and heists are as commonplace as star systems. But this feels different, and there’s something menacing about the tone of the conversation.

“I say, ‘Okay, well, people have problems all the time. What kind of problem?’” Pétursson recalls.

The caller gives him a vague explanation, Pétursson says he can’t help, and the call ends. Shortly after, the phone rings again.

“The problem with the game?” the voice says. “It’s a big problem. This person… their father is very powerful.”"

Hope SH2 gets more polish before release.

I’m not paying $94 CAD for what they’ve shown me. Looks rough as sin.

This looks terrible. Capcom should have done the remake 😂 The animations and gameplay looks stiff.

Okay. I was saying before in another article how SH2 looked better than the last trailer, which is true but damn this looks rough as hell.

I wanted RE4 / Dead Space remake quality

Sonic18811h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I wouldn't buy it for $70 dollars. Maybe when it's on sale.

-Foxtrot1h ago

Yeah full price, deluxe editions, Konami are f***** tripping here.
