Theyre a veteran team and we believe in their ambitious vision to deliver incredible player experiences at the intersection of best-in-class game design and blockchain technology.The depth and nuances of EVE have become a frequent point of reference in blockchain gaming and weare therefore thrilled to support the teams impressive vision of expanding the EVE Universe utilizing thistechnology, said Makers Fund principal Alli \xd3ttarsson, in a statement. As a former employee, its a great personal joy to be reunited with CCP and to witness their continued passion for creating truly meaningful virtual worlds.Weve long marveled at stories of interstellar war, spaceships forever lost, and the constant challengesof staying ahead of emergent, sovereign play patterns, said Bitkraft Ventures partner Carlos Pereira, in a statement. Still, P\xe9tursson remained curious because the space was intellectually rigorous.Frankly, some of the deepest thinking on game economies I have observed happens at blockchain conferences, due to the fact that everything had to be so sparse and you had to be very deliberate about what to do, he said.Over time, during the pandemic, P\xe9tursson explored the ideas even more. So CCP Games started experimenting on a larger scale.We learned many things on the potential from that with players who were concerned about whether the company would change the rules of Eve Online.
