> [@Dirk\_MacGirk](#): > > Why didn’t you give the EVE “c0mmun1ty” the chance to counter the offer through a Kickstarter campaign? We’ve already selected a Board of Stellar Directors to step in and represent our interests. We cant offer what Pearl Abyss in terms of resources/know-how/markets etc can, aside from cash. Also I think it was something like 20,000 dollars per active player to match the offer. ---

@CCP_Falcon Think all the question i was going to ask have already been asked. glad to hear the CCP will retain control of the eve IP. sounds like a very good opportunity to grow the game and possibly further into the korean games market. my concerns relates to the monetisation and pay to win aspects of Pearl Abyss existing game being translated into eve online, from the sounds of it that’s not going to happen. at least you were not bought out by Electronic Arts ---

@CCP_Guard @CCP_Falcon A few more questions: 1. Why AMA on the Forums and not on Reddit? And who decided it? 2. How do you plan to compensate us for the premature rage we had to endure? 3. Do you see any danger with the meta-game getting out of hand with the acquisition? Pearl Abyss is a publically traded company and players might be tempted to buy stock in order to gain influence over CCP. (lel) 4. What’s your favorite SciFi show of all times and if it isn’t Firefly: why? ---

> [@Captain\_Torlek](#): > > glad to hear the CCP will retain control of the eve IP. Nobody said that. PA owns all the IPs and every thing that is CCP and EVE. They own even the toilet paper in the goddam CCP HQ. They just said that PA has said they wont interfere in CCPs development of EVE. That can change whenever and however PA wants. ---

Well, to be more specific with the “house” example you should have added people living there. If there is a possibility for those people to be forced to walk sideways / be forced to leave, then that should be documented. PS: I’d also suggest you reading a few contracts, those kind of “possible problematic questions” should be considered in the contract creation, or it can be voided. ---

@CCP_Guard @CCP_Falcon What guarantee do we have that even you were assured CCP stays in charge of Eve one day the other company won’t decide it’s time to “milk” and will force you to make you some bad changes? We the players put a lot of time into Eve, and it would suck to learn one day that your game will be milked for half a year and then die, cause investors want more money. ---

I can’t answer it until I’ll read the **signed contract between two entities** , which can be a top secret document, with a specialized lawyer? What kind of rights or degree of freedom has CCP and what kind of right has PA. Otherwise, it’s just an empty talking of nothing. ---
