Kind of a stretch but the crossover between jaded dev/tech people and EVE Online players is high:

Mostly Harmless is an old, now defunct, EVE corp. Might be someone who ran in that that might recognize him.

It's the description of Earth in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That's where that's from

Just reading through the notes and there are lots of EVE terms in there. They look like they're talking about something else, a new game maybe, but I wouldn't discount it just yet.

(Miners, haulers, nanite )

I think all of those also fit in No Man’s Sky.

Mostly Harmless is also a difficulty level... I wouldn't dig too deeply into the name so much as the choice.

Yea it's a bit of a stretch. I haven't played EVE in ten years though and it was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Looks like this was back in 2011 or so: http://www.verite.space/maps/influence/20110115.png (NW corner)

Why not? Every other avenue has been explored.
