EVE Online Player Loses a Spaceship Worth Approximately $9,000

Dave Thier, for Forbes :

It smarts to lose a fight in a video game. It smarts more when you’re playing an MMO, where your losses are on display for your entire community to see. It smarts even more when in that fight, you lose a ship worth approximately $8-9000.

It’s a tough pill to swallow for the unlucky guy who was at the wheel of the ship.
