eve.jpgEVE Online, the award winning MMO from Icelandic developer CCP Games is hit by a cheating scandal, where the developers misused their position to create “blueprints” for an alliance of players. In short, basic corruption. A developer has confessed on the official EVE developer blog, stating that cheating was in fact going on, and assured the community he was the only one involved. EVE Online is a sci-fi MMO released in 2003, followed by several expansion packs. The game currently has over 200,000 active players.

The accusation, and the confession.

    Now I’ll never be able to watch someone playing Mario Kart DS online, without wondering if Shigeru Miyamoto is giggling to himself because his modded game gives him infinite mushrooms.
