ranked it among the 100 websites that shaped the internet as we know it, while noting that it could actually be awful: At times funny, stupid, intriguing, shockingly toxic, and utterly unwilling to change.
But that intransigence may be coming to an end, at least in the context of EVE Online. One member of Goonswarm said in a forum post that the"legacy, rules, and policies" of"true goons"—players who came to EVE Online from the Something Awful forums, rather than joining Goonswarm directly—have failed the organization and its wider membership. Because of that, they have no interest in being a part of that faction:"It feels good to be on the other side," they wrote.
The uproar in Goonswarm could also indicate that broader cultural currents are having an impact on EVE overall, which is somewhat rare to see: EVE Players, and particularly the Goon contingent, are a pretty insular group. EVE's history of high-profilegive the impression that it's a game where player actions most would consider cruel are not only tolerated but celebrated, and I think it's easy to see how that environment could attract abusive behavior.
