It seems to me that the game turned out to be most famous Icelandic export product by far. That's pretty cute.
Well Bjork is more well known but Eve is worth more, income-wise :)
IIRC Iceland's largest export is aluminum.

#22I've never played EVE but have read a bit here and there about it, and while I have no interest in playing, the epic stories that come out of it fascinate me. Is there a good place to go to find more?
imperium.news and /r/eve
The metagame of Eve is such that you can't really find objective reporting, though. It extends far beyond the game.

#23If I had a life to spare, I'd play EVE... I'd love to watch some kind of weekly news round up, is there anything like that?
imperium.news
As explained elsewhere, don't expect to find 100% objective reporting anywhere.

IIRC this is not because Iceland has particularly rich stores of aluminum ore, but rather because refining aluminum ore into usable aluminum metal is energy-intensive and Iceland has abundant geothermal energy resources. So they import ore and export metal.

#27maybe the top 1%is having meta fun, but from what I seen the rest might as well be playing Excell spreadsheets
I have had a metric fuckton of fun, in my four year career. I've rarely dealt with politics, and only used a spreadsheet, once (so far). Mostly, I just get drunk on a Friday night, with buddies, and we go blow shit up.

#28I don't play EVE because there are already enough demands on my time, but damned if this commercial (entirely done with voice comms) hasn't come close to pushing me over the edge:

#29I wonder if multi-sig contracts (not necessarily through blockchain) would preclude such incidents in the future. Concentrating so much power to a single person, inevitably makes for such "Little Finger" plays with devastating effects for everyone involved.
