Local capsuleer Delet3_Everything confirmed Tuesday that he has been playing EVE Online incorrectly for the past 14 years, having recently realized he had been attempting to play what he believed was Starfield while logged into New Eden.
“I just want to clarify: I bought Starfield. I paid $70 for it. And then I accidentally clicked on EVE Online and have been playing that for 14 years,” the player explained in a widely-shared Reddit post that received 40,000 upvotes and several awards. “I thought EVE was a beta version of Starfield that hadn’t loaded properly. I kept waiting for the character creation screen. It never came.”
According to Delet3_Everything, the confusion began when he purchased both games in late 2024 and “got them mixed up” after spilling coffee on his keyboard. “My finger slipped and I clicked on the blue icon instead of the orange one, and then I was in space shooting people, except I didn’t know they were people. I thought they were load screens. I kept trying to exit out of them.”
The player says he has now successfully located Starfield on his desktop and is looking forward to “finally playing the real game.” He added that he had managed to sell his Titans, Rorqual, and 12 PLEX for approximately 45 billion ISK, which he intends to convert into “actual money or whatever Starfield uses for currency.”
“I think it’s a real shame,” he concluded. “EVE seemed like it had a lot of potential if you ignore the graphics.”
Delet3_Everything was last seen attempting to craft a mining laser in Starfield’s ship builder.
