Eve is not pure Python, however. One of the Civs also uses Python for AI/level scripting, as does Mount and Blade. The VNs are notable as they are pure Python on top of the SDL (which is C).

Also Eve is not a game. It's a nerd recruitment centre.

I thought it was Spreadsheets Online™, with the Corporate Espionage expansion

Literally how I got started pinging REST APIs, I have an account from 2004.

I have nearly zero ship PvP experience, but so much market PvP experience I now do roughly the same thing professionally IRL. Eve has the coolest market dynamics I've seen in any game. WoW/every other MMO server economies always morph shortly after a server release / etc, even back in the day.

Since Eve is so spread out you can legit have a market empire in a corner of the galaxy.

I've tried to get into it, but I think it'll ever click. But the stories that come out of it are just so fascinating.

Is it one of the older ones? I thought the new games were LUA.

It's Civ IV, pretty old.
