Eve Online players raised more than $100,000 in memory of a developer

Update, January 19, 2018: Eve Online players raised nearly $120,000 in memory of a CCP developer who died last year.

The Eve Online community have raised just under $120,000 in memory of CCP Blaze, a senior software engineer who died in 2017. CCP organised a fundraiser in his name in the wake of his death, to raise money for his fiancee and daughter. It ran from December 12 to December 19 last year.

In an announcement this afternoon, CCP says that "the response was astonishing, unparalled in the history of fundraisers hosted by CCP, and incredibly humbling" and confirmed that the donations from the sale of 'Blaze' Squadron skins totalled $119,828.50. That equates to more than 3.7 billion Plex, Eve's in-game currency, or around 620 years of in-game time.
