One of the main research topics in the article was the question of morality and ethics within the Eve Online computer game players. The Author decided to use face-to-face interviews with players and CCP employees (the game founder company) and also play the game to get a feel for it, read discussions on bulletin boards, and used various other ways to get information about the game and the people playing it just to make the conclusion that there was so much paranoia amongst the players within the game: everyone was spying on everybody else.
