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? ---

How quickly you think will Pearl Abyss paywalls every possible feature, function and item? Because they will. Pearl Abyss cannot be trusted with relaible updates nor do they listen userbase at all. I know this for a fact. What makes you so sure they do? What qurantees do we have CCP stays in control of the development of EVE? You say you’ll remain independent, but everyone who’s familiar with PA, knows otherwise. ---

> [@Milana\_Pollard](#): > > all I want to know is, do CCP retain 100% creative control over EVE Online? Please, do try to give them reasonable questions. You are asking something they cannot really answer without resorting to marketing talk. It is this kind of question which prevents a real open exchange. This is an acquisition. That means that regardless of gentleman’s agreements and initial accords CCP Games is no longer independant, and has become a tech and product asset, nothing more. You are effectively asking them to wiggle. I don’t think this is fair. ---

Hey folks! I got these questions: 1. With more resources coming your way, have you guys got plans to work on Walking in Stations/Incarna and overall Avatar gameplay for the EVE universe, be it with implementations in Nova, utilizing Unreal Engine, or in any other way? 2. Have you guys thought of a symbiosis between the EVE Trinity engine and Unreal engine, so that both EVE and Project Nova can eventually merge into one big game? Overall I am optimistic and I trust you guys in the decision to join hands with Pearl Abyss. You are a wise company. Here is to more exciting times ahead! ❤ 🚀 🌞 ---

> [@Ptraci](#): > > No it’s not. Your agreement is with a corporation. The corporation still exists, only the shares are now owned by someone else. Actually, that depends on where someone is from. In the EU, an acquisition, irregardless of incorporation, voids prior agreement for EU citizens in the case of owner and/or share tranfers. At that point any company, regardless of status or stature, is required to formally reissue requests for any Agreements with components of confidentiality or cause. ---

Will there be options/modifications available that will allow players to remove every Pearl Abyss banner and/or splash from the game? Because they didn’t make EVE, they don’t deserve any credit for it. ---

> [@Nana\_Skalski](#): > > There is alternative, they can be honest with us. Not really, as in not really an actual choice available. You’re not getting answers from CEO’s, but from staff. So there is by default omission as applied instrument. As long as Falcon and Guard can make clear if this is a messaging excercise (marketing) or an open exchange (no marketing) that will say much more about answers for projections. ---

If they can’t, or won’t, answer it, I can’t, or won’t, resubscribe. Pretty simple. The fact is, if you think about it, failure to answer my question actually answers it. ---
