Its a normal English adjective for something with a small and devoted fan base/following. See Cult Films, f.ex.

Cult?! How dare they?! I'm so outraged I'm going to sacrifice 2 lambs to CCP Guard now!

Technically it isn't Auntie Beeb, but a link to www.businessweek.com which is almost even funnier.

The RL business sites all tend to find EvE now and then and go "wtf?"

Wall Street Journal had an article on one of the more spectacular ponzi schemes and other have followed.

It's often a very funny read ;)

Its even funnier when they try to describe the game in a few lines and it sounds so different to the actual game.

True, but if I described my actual game in a few lines it's quite likely that it would differ from your actual game.

The term "actual game" and "EvE" simply isn't a very good match ;)

I am confused, I am forced to pay this company (or the company that owns it) by law (by owning a TV in the UK) but cant view this particular article it because it's apparently funded by some magical (totally not the licence fee) anti-UK money?

In hindsight my post should have had more psssshhhh

You have to pay in Euro, and you don't have any.

But actually, it's more likely down to your ISP, and your ISPs are a strange bunch :/

Hi,

There's already a topic about this, over here.
