Online
is somewhat of an anomaly among MMOGs. For years the game has happily
existed in the realm of digital distribution, with a slow but steady
population increase bringing new players into New Eden. This coming
March though, thanks to a publishing deal with Atari, EVE will be
hitting retail shelves and establishing a presence in stores before the
impending flood of new sci-fi games hit the market. This week, Reuben
“Sardu” Waters takes a closer look at what this
publishing deal might mean for the future of EVE.

In EVE, the
relationship between pilot and vessel is entirely
symbiotic, much like the cybernetic implants currently allowing me to
beam words directly from my brain and onto virtual paper without the
need for silly things like keyed input devices. This also cuts to the
heart of what could ultimately prove to be an excellent relationship
between CCP and Atari.
