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