> [@Di\_Jiensai](#): > > I am SPECIFICALLY making fun of CCP NOT targeting any demographic below the age of 40o. Yeah, I see EVE ads on most social media apps, Twitter, FB, Reddit, Tiktok, YT, and even my sudoku app. They are really only missing some niche apps. ---

They’re pretty good with advertising themselves on the interweb. Always have been. I discovered the game through one such 100x100 px ad on some website I was visiting back in 2009. Can’t recall what website it was. Not FB, as I was not using it back then. Not a gaming website either, as I’ve never frequented any gaming sites. I was just messing around online and on one of the sites their ad popped up, and I’ve been here ever since.
