<br/><br/>><br/><br/>>> EVE Online
<br/><br/>> developer CCP Games [
2]has been acquired by Pearl Abyss , the South Korean studio behind the action-oriented MMORPG Black Desert Online. According to [
3]VentureBeat , the deal was worth $
425 million and will close in early October. It
's a surprise announcement for CCP, which has long operated as an independent developer. Eve Online isn
't the biggest MMORPG on the market, but it has maintained a steady and loyal userbase through continuous updates and a well-timed switch to a hybrid premium and free-to-play model. The
15-year-old game is unique, too, with its large-scale battles and notoriously complex economic and political systems.
