| 6 | i acquired by Pearl Abyss, the South Korean studio behind the\r | |
| 7 | i action-oriented MMORPG Black Desert Online. According to\r | |
| 8 | i VentureBeat, the deal was worth $425 million and will close in\r | |
| 9 | i early October. It's a surprise announcement for CCP, which has\r | |
| 10 | i long operated as an independent developer. Eve Online isn't\r | |
| 11 | i the biggest MMORPG on the market, but it has maintained a\r | |
| 12 | i steady and loyal userbase through continuous updates and a\r | |
| 13 | i well-timed switch to a hybrid premium and free-to-play model.\r | |
| 14 | i The 15-year-old game is unique, too, with its large-scale\r | |
| 15 | i battles and notoriously complex economic and political\r | |
| 16 | i systems.\r | |
