EVE Online, the popular multiplayer online game known for its intricate gameplay and data-driven mechanics, has taken a significant step forward by releasing a Microsoft Excel add-in. Developed by CCP Games, the creators of EVE Online, the add-in aims to provide players with a competitive advantage by leveraging the power of data analysis and visualization.
In a blog post on Tuesday, CCP Games emphasized the importance of data in EVE Online, stating that “access to and the understanding of data can spell the difference between victory and defeat.” The add-in, which was initially announced at EVE Fanfest last year, is now available for free, presenting an opportunity to level the playing field and enhance the gaming experience for both new and existing players.
The collaboration between CCP Games and Microsoft serves as a crossover marketing endeavor while also offering practical benefits. The add-in eliminates the need for complex third-party tools, enabling players to quickly and efficiently gather in-game data and make informed decisions without requiring coding knowledge. By working closely with Microsoft’s Excel team, CCP Games has ensured seamless integration and accessibility.
