Eve Online developer CCP Games has followed suit with many other online platforms and officially banned decisive public personality Andrew Tate from playing Eve Online. CCP games in a press release emphasised the need to protect the very few female players who play Eve Online from any possible reason to leave.
As of publishing there are a total of four female players who currently play Eve Online, down from five after a disgruntled player left the previous month. The most recent Leaver departed the game in protest, citing long term reluctance of CCP Games to introduce Hello Kitty themed cosmetic items.
For the past year female player numbers have been tracked alongside the monthly economic report, and up-till last month the number was a constant, no new female players, and no drop. The sudden 20% drop caused outcries of concern from the player base who demanded drastic action to quell the virtual female ghost town that is New Eden.
Some players reacted badly to the ban, citing improvements Andrew Tate’s persona brought improvements to player hygiene and leadership skills in larger alliances and power blacks.
Andrew Tate has commented on the ban and released a statement.
“Why would I even play such a sausage-filled virtual hotbox? Spreadsheets in space are for beta male manchildren who have never felt the embrace of the female body. I don’t even have an account anyway so how can I be banned? What next? A Roblox ban?”
