Off topic question, is the name EVE or EvE? Usually the small "v" would denote a "versus". Is there a backstory to the name?
Never actually played it but I was always fascinated by the the extent to which the devs went to capture real life interactions inside the game. Now I'm fascinated by the extent to which the article's author went to capture game interactions in real life.

However, generally the name originates in the game's backstory with the "EVE Gate" which was a now-expired wormhole that appeared somewhere in Earth's proximity and lead to "New Eden" which is the cluster where the game takes place.

- stereographic 8y agoEVE is just the name of an area in the game where humans came through into this "new world". https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/EVE_Gate https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/EVE_Gate The game has a serious amount of lore behind it and it's been years since I played so I may be over generalising
