Way back before Eve was even in Beta, IGN interviewed Thor Beck, co-founder of CCP and possibly EVE’s first victim of bad corp role assignment, since he got replaced as CEO after being voted out by a board of directors meeting. (a more recent interview with him can be found here)
It’s interesting to see what core concepts Eve has taken all the way through from the design stage, and just how out-there the whole idea was, judging by the questions asked in the interview.
