How a virtual space battle lost gamers £400,000 Just now Share Save Add as preferred on Google Adam Clarkson BBC Your Voice Fenris Creations James Cunningham hadn't slept. He'd been up all night "fighting for his life". The 27-year-old from Ware in Hertfordshire was trying to save a virtual empire from the brink of destruction - using a keyboard and mouse. James says he "didn't expect everything to go wrong", recalling the explosive conflict that broke out in June 2025. "But it did." He'd spent thousands of hours - up to 16 a day - and roughly £6,000 playing EVE Online, a game played by tens of thousands of people around the world. Last year marked one of the most dramatic and expensive chapters in the game's history. By the end of it, hundreds of thousands of pounds' worth of in-game assets had been lost. One combatant contacted BBC Your Voice hoping to draw attention to this colossal war that offers a glimpse into EVE Online's immersive digital world. It's a universe in which players craft stories of heroism, treachery and geopolitical turmoil - and suffer real-life economic consequences. James Cunningham has spent thousands of hours playing EVE Online A distant universe Launched in 2003, the game is set in a fictional corner of space which gamers are free to explore as pilots. There is no rigid storyline to follow. They can band together to form corporations - which operate like private militaries or shipping companies. These corporations can in turn work together in vast alliances, running increasingly complex military and industrial operations which go on for years. Many gamers become soldiers or traders, but a select few find themselves in leadership positions - commanding thousands of gamers and having massive influence over the virtual world. Because resources and territory are limited, conflict is a core driver of the game. Trade routes are raided, borders contested, and rival alliances wage months-long wars to control regions of space. Battles can be intense, but some players call EVE Online the "spreadsheet simulator" as most of the gameplay is slow and strategic - clicking through maps and information panels to manage ships and monitor for threats. Fenris Creations EVE Online is sometimes called a "spreadsheet simulator" due to its slow, tactical gameplay - but conflicts can be ferocious Every item in the game - from ships and space stations to weaponry - is manufactured by players, who can sell them to one another for in-game currency. Building these assets can take hundreds of hours, but players can also spend real money to acquire them, generating revenue for Icelandic developers Fenris Creations. For example, a Titan-class ship is worth about £741. James Cunningham estimates he has spent about £6,000 on the game since he started playing in 2017. A high-earning friend, he says, claims to have spent closer to £30,000. While spending money on video games is not uncommon, EVE Online stands out because players' assets can be permanentl
