Late on Monday a post on Slashdot reported that the source code for the space based MMO EVE Online had been leaked and passed out on the Internet via a BitTorrent site. The leak has apparently caused the game's developer CCP to go into damage control mode. Next Generation contacted CCP for comment and in an email the developer stated that the leak wasn't that big of a deal.

According to the statement, CCP says, "It's unfortunate that something so inaccurate and untrue has been grossly blown out of proportion." The game's web site also has a statement from the developer (the full message can only be read by EVE Online subscribers) that because of the way the game's server system is designed, the leak "is not a security risk to CCP or our customers in any way." CCP also admitted to removing forum posts that deals with violations of the game's EULA, stating, "We consider any alterations of the client software, including decompilation, or discussions thereof, to represent such a violation."
