I dont play that game, but this does sound like a really cool idea. Better than "Take this survey for 10 game coins".

Indeed, it sounds very clever but why limiting to just this game, why not trying something else like WoW?

Probably a couple of reasons. Easier to write into a Sci-Fi game instead of Fantasy, players of Sci-Fi game more likely to be interested in science stuff, and maybe this is the only game company who said yes? 😛

Because EvE miners need something to do lol

This is really a great idea. I wasted so much time in EvE back in the day. Very tempted to pick it up again, but every time I start considering it something in that pesky thing of a real life makes it where I can't give the time commitment.
