Wondering if the fact this is on the goon news site may have any negative impact on the journalistic integrity of the article. Well atleast it's not just more nullsec crap.
…then again, Smedley was in CFC. That would also explain the “industry connection”. Blink

HBC according to the article.
Which is close enough.



acording to the CEO's twitter account, he was in the CFC at one point. He is now in HBC


This obviously means he is in TEST

FC, what do?

If you chill out in the help or rookie channel, a large number of new players inquire about being a pirate. I don't think anyone picks up this game thinking: "Yeah! I wanna be a miner!" It's a necessary means to an end- generating income.

Yes but when it's made public that the CEO of a major gaming division plays for one of the troll alliances in EVE Online how can that not impact one's perspective on the corporation they represent?


That makes no sense. If someone played as a Horde character in WoW, being an evil race and evil faction, that doesn't make them an evil person IRL.

We're talking ROLE-PLAYING GAMES here. It's not real friend.


Althought i hate you guys, i agree with that Smile

Stopped reading after he said his favorite ship was the Drake. Also, ads on the mittani's site? Pfft, I'd rather not support that already-rich-retired lawyer.

PS: Posting with forum alts is the new hot trend in internet marketing.

I blame Captain Jack Sparrow.

I think the difference between venture capitalists- who by nature, believe in the product, and someone who snatches up an IPO is passion.

It's hard enough to force myself to read a post by you, but by starting a post with "TheMittani.com" definitely makes sure I don't continue reading.

TheMittani.com scores another big win, securing an interview with the SOE president! Clearly, TM is seen as the chief representative of EVE's playerbase. Smile


Lord help us all if there ever was a single "chief representative of EVE's playerbase"
That to me would be the harbingjour of the Death of EVE

Chief representative? The same guy who tried to convince other players to harass a single depressed person till they killed themselves in real life?? You need to get your head checked.
