Sadly I disagree, now when Pearl Abyss runs into issues it can and will dump eve online to another owner and/or just shut it down and take it as a business loss in order to preserve THEIR core business. The Koreans are NOT going to be as committed to EVE as CCP itself was/is because it is not their sole revenue source. It is simply an asset to be used as such. Eve online is now truly in danger as it never has been before. ---

> [@Salvos\_Rhoska](#): > > Quite a list of tax havens. There’s a few people there who are often referred to as the Thieves of Iceland. Probably best not to dwell on it on this forum, but there’s some really amazing stories there - banking crisis, shipyard drama and much, much more. There’s good people there too though. And one who plays EVE even 🙂 ---

They are to be a “wholly owned subsidiary”…that means the Koreans dictate whatever the hell they want at the executive level. ---

Only thing that will change is that now on the forum, instead of players starting threads like “CCP please do something about cloaky AFK camping!” the title will be “PA please do something about cloaky AFK camping/bumping/ganking etc…” Same ■■■■. Different day… ---
