Will South Korea be added to the list of events like EVE Vegas and Eve Fanfest? ---

The introduction of skill injectors and rorq buff turned the game into carriers / rorqs online. Which I am sure was extremely beneficial for CCPs short term financials. However, with a falling (actual) player count (rather than mass multiboxers / skill farmers / botting VNIs)… What action is CCP going to take to keep null sec interesting for small entities… aka think of the little guy. I presume Pearl Abyss will be wanting the downward trend to be reversed. Also will Pearl Abyss enable you guys to expand your balance team… since it appears the meta is very much boring and stale… ---

> Will Pearl Abyss’ embracing of sexually suggestive content conflict with the more restrained standards of CCP, as witnessed in the overly sensitive moderation of this “inappropriate” thread - [Breast Physics](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/breast-physics/103992) - or can there now officially be more room for more mature content in this game, largely populated by adults, which still imposes a self-regulated age 12 rating? If you’ve got a thing for boobies, you’re always going to be dissapointed in EVE, because it’s about spaceships. Not really sure what to say here, bud. There’s websites for that kind of thing. 😜 ---

Hey, Frank! They’re thinking long term with this, they didn’t buy a company best known for making a very unique and complicated product just to step in and crank dials. They have a lot of respect for our understanding of our product and our market. Everything I’ve seen and heard fills me with optimism about what we can do for EVE in the future. ---

Not in the present structure actually 🙂 There’s types of shares, there’s also a structure within distinct shareholders, well, former ones pretty much now. ---

> @CCP_Falcon all I want to know is, do CCP retain 100% creative control over EVE Online? Yep, there’s been lots of discussions about this and the plan is that we maintain 100% control over EVE. That’s the way that both CCP and Pearl Abyss want it 🙂 ---

So ccp gets a cash injection which is good. Is this going to be more allocation for new projects or will there be more resources available to dedicate to better use of multicore and multi threading server and client side code? ---

> Will CCP now focus on EVE Online instead of other doomed projects such as VR or FPS? Diversifying makes sure that we’re always going to keep things sharp and fresh. We’ve done that in the past - some stuff has worked, some hasn’t. Never say never, I think we’ll also work on other projects, but EVE will always remain a huge part of what we do. Working with Pearl Abyss gives us so many opportunities to do more work on more projects, we’d be super dumb not to embrace them.
