> [@CCP\_Falcon](#): > > They don’t. CCP is developing EVE Online and Pearl Abyss have been super direct that they don’t want to interfere with how we run things. I mean no disrespect, but can you tone down the marketing speak a bit? Please keep in mind that a lot of EVE players aren’t exactly school students or unemployed. They dig up the Financial Statements, they monitor your ARPU, they collect Investor briefs. Heck some of them receive those. Just as an example. Please? Do not think they do not tackle PA the same way. There is demonstrable evidence that PA has distinct plans on market reach and monetisation. There is a consistancy in their decision timeline that is impressive, even if the discrepancy between what they tell that which they buy and what they do is shocking. It is business. Yes, your numbers looked pretty decent. But let’s not forget that it took quite a bit of work, and some corners. PA is a publicly traded investment management company whose primary sector of interest in the games industry. I hope to god you are not going to claim that you are now no longer owned by financial investors. You still are. Just different investor relations. More direct ones. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/ama-ccp-acquisiton-by-pearl-abyss-starts-at-16-30-utc/104473)._
