Eve Online in a nutshell.

Loved that game, but it was more work than my actual job.

My mind immediately went to EVE when I read the headline.

I love it, I really do but it makes you ask yourself weird existential questions about games and jobs.

The other thing that made me quit after few years was that the company behind it (CCP Games), with it's current management, really seems to be incompetent.

Yeah, EvE is an amazingly immersive game with meta-gameplay on a whole different level compared to most other games.

I'm happy CCP screwed up back during the whole pants-scandal; it made me give up on online gaming, and it was incredibly liberating to get out of it.

So you didn't read the article.

Oh, it's quite relevant. The main difference is that EvE feels like a second job without even trying.

But that's not the point of the article.

I guess we interpreted it differently, then. :)
