Apparently the
GoonSwarm Shrugged Gallente Ice Interdiction operation is more significant than an event that actually enticed The Mittani to log in and play
Eve Online. Indiana University's
Edward Castronova, a leading scholar of virtual worlds,
posted a blog comparing the Goons' operation to the
Enron scandal from 10 years ago. Here is the money quote:
"But now if someone asks me whether an important policy and regulatory issue can be replicated in a virtual world, I can say that some players replicated energy market manipulation just for kicks."
