I used to tell all my friends about my Eve exploits and actively advertise Eve, but I only ever got a few people to try it, and most didn't stick with it.
Their reasoning? They apparently "have a life".

I think it's something about how the former can get you laid or something, while the latter can just end with a Thorax blowing up in your face.

It's time for me to re-register my car, and I am thinking of changing my license plate to "RIFTR" or something ("RIFTER" appears to be taken  ).

Hell yes. If you can herd cats in a video game where nobody is really accountable for anything, then you will definitely be able to manage employees in the real world -- where consequences matter.
Video games do have a certain stigma though, so there may be some employers that react to a game being mentioned with a resounding "nopenopenope". If you're wondering whether to mention Eve in an interview, I would keep it to myself unless the interviewer asks something about "experience in leadership", particularly if he's asking about it in context of leisure activities.
