We spend time with CCP Snowedin and CCP Zeotrope talking about the EVE API – and how only ESI will be supported after May 8th. This leads to a long and detailed discussion about the nature of EVE and its relationship to Modders and Third Party developers. How much information is too much? We conclude with a first-person perspective on a Jump Freighter loss and the memes that followed Matterall.
