Dust, EVE and CCP's new sandbox - EVE Online is a machine that allows players to create stories, and all its systems support that end. "It starts with the social structure -- corporations are the same in both games, so that PC and console can share the same shard from a design perspective, too."

Impressions of the New Eden Open - "The annual Alliance Tournament has always been the one opportunity I get per year to show my friends EVE and not get rolled eyes in reply. People who don't even play EVE tune in to watch spaceships explode, and I'll bet some of them go on to subscribe to the game."

EVE Online included in Museum of Modern Art exhibit - "Are video games art? They sure are, but they are also design, and a design approach is what we chose for this new foray into this universe. The games are selected as outstanding examples of interaction design—a field that MoMA has already explored and collected extensively, and one of the most important and oft-discussed expressions of contemporary design creativity."

"We don't want EVE to become a super casual, very shallow not very complex game, but it shouldn't be impossible to learn how to get into the depths of what EVE is." - Exec Producer, Jon Lander.

In An Age of Free-to-Play, EVE Online Sets Records - "But there's one game that's perplexing analysts as it not only is surviving using a paid subscription model, but thriving. That would be CCP Games' EVE Online, the space combat simulator which recently announced that it's broken 450,000 subscriptions for the first time in the games ten year history."
