There’s unfortunate limits in regards to how far I can go in shedding light on this, but I did want to clarify a point here. It isn’t the types or kinds of games that provide such a large subset of behavioural metrics & analytics, there’s two more prominant angles. First, games are an easy entry point for platforms and second behaviour inside the game dynamic is of even deeper interest as it provides a far easier approach to modelling of behaviour with mapped trigger points and stimuli.
To make it clear, what we do inside games is of the highest interest for core behavioural modelling. To us, it shed painful light on changes in investment patterns in EU innovation markets over the past decade on the road to what became the recent issue of deep profiling for microtargeted influencing.
Anyhow, this goes way over the limits of discussion here. Suffice to say that it hasn’t been a choice of in or out for a while now, it’s a debate of limits, usage and ownership.
I know way too many people whose steam name is their real name (FLastname I think is used by default by steam some times ago when you give steam your First name Last name)
I also see you are a part of CODE, Which further tells me about your personality as an immature adult because CODE’s behavior in EVE is nothing short of childish.
Yes. And for the sake of this discussion also about what it does to us and how to have at least some level of damage control. The 3rd party website in discussion here, has little to offer in terms of properly mapped trigger points. At best it’s a shabby collection of pieces of the cake, which stay necessarily in the realm of inconclusiveness.
I remember about a year ago we had a discussion here as to wether EVE is a game or not. My point was, that it is a number of games within a kind of simulation. Not claiming it, but merely suggesting that it could all just be a great behavorial study of human behaviour, led to the thread being salvoshed. Now, I still don’t claim that EVE is indeed that, but I still think if it were, it would be one of the better places for it.
The game itself would provide a far better environment for such analytics. Talking about Zkill only now and only in the context of a possible law being discussed, by lawmakers that as usual are very late and mostly might not even grasp the issue, seems odd.
I’m curious though, what these unfortunate limits are that you’re speaking about. A little more light is always better.
Also instead YOU sound insecure when you complain about “innocents” and “helpless victims” in a PvP game where one of the main activities is participating in one of the many forms of PvP.
Do you drop a tantrum and become prejudicial when you or someone else is beat in chess? How about in poker where there are “stakes” of some sort (friendly worthless poker chips, cigars or actual real life cash or whatever)?
This is a sandbox where scamming, stealing, ganking and many other “negative” things are legit gameplay, if this offends you then you don’t understand the game and project your own concepts on it and see a distorted fake image instead of what it is, perhaps take a break and try looking at things objectively for your own sake.
Is it ethical that using 3rd party service provider like diffrint chatt server ?
I belive it can give two issue.
One is our data under someone else hand .
Second it is give technical issues.
So Is it ethical and safe for us as players ??
Can you explain more about this? The new chat server uses XMPP, but is it also running as a service on a 3rd party platform? Because if it does, it’s indeed a possible problem.
You think you can say something about someone’s past just because of a game killboard which is not only absurd, but also shows you have a serious issue separating the game from reality
You think I was abused as a child and you think it’s OK to weponize that and rub it into the persons face to win a stupid forum argument. WTF is wrong with you? If that was true don’t you think such a person would have suffered enough already without some internet tough guy making fun about it.
all it needs. there ain’t a single valid excuse not doing it. every single time. if this ■■■■ doesn’t stop early, it’s gonna steamroll all over us.

just so he can’t delete it and pretend it didn’t happen.
@CCP_Falcon sorry for interrupting your saturday night.
the longer CCP caters to these people, the worse it’s going to get. the more farmers CCP attracts, the more of these people we will be seeing here. the easier CCP makes the game and the lower the bar of entry, the more of these people YOU will have to be dealing with eventually.
today, in some other thread, some guy called people like “me”, whatever it means, worse than pedophiles. another one called “us” psychopaths and the ISD do nothing. people “like me” get banned for calling people assholes yet these “people” get away scott free.
