C|Net has picked up on the EVE Intergalactic Bank story I mentioned earlier (reLink) and posted an article, “Cons in the virtual gaming world” (Link). I’m only really posting this because reading the Yale blog or the posts on Terra Nova can be daunting. This article is far easier to digest and might help some people start to get a sense of what the general issues are.
{Update – TenTonHammer has posted a synopsis of an interview with EVE developer CCP (Link). Worth a read just to see how much game currency was scammed; supposedly it’s into six figures.}
