EVE Online's most notorious player has quit the game

ranked it among the 100 websites that shaped the internet as we know it, while noting that it could actually be awful: At times funny, stupid, intriguing, shockingly toxic, and utterly unwilling to change.

But that intransigence may be coming to an end, at least in the context of EVE Online. One member of Goonswarm said in a forum post that the"legacy, rules, and policies" of"true goons"—players who came to EVE Online from the Something Awful forums, rather than joining Goonswarm directly—have failed the organization and its wider membership. Because of that, they have no interest in being a part of that faction:"It feels good to be on the other side," they wrote.

The uproar in Goonswarm could also indicate that broader cultural currents are having an impact on EVE overall, which is somewhat rare to see: EVE Players, and particularly the Goon contingent, are a pretty insular group. EVE's history of high-profilegive the impression that it's a game where player actions most would consider cruel are not only tolerated but celebrated, and I think it's easy to see how that environment could attract abusive behavior.

Things have changed a lot since Something Awful was founded 22 years ago, though. EVE itself is only slightly younger. Its 20th anniversary is next year. Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80. From there he graduated to the glory days of Sierra Online adventures and Microprose sims, ran a local BBS, learned how to build PCs, and developed a longstanding love of RPGs, immersive sims, and shooters.

It's a ruse. Three years from now you'll go to look for your car keys and they'll be gone and you'll be like 'damn you, Eve Online players, you've done it again!'
