Pearl Abyss Has Sold CCP Games Back To The Studio's Leadership Team For $120M USD

I tried to tell Aiko her prices were too steep, she didn’t listen. Now it’s free market.

AI POLICE will happen, “I want to believe!”

“Sir is that plagiocase in the cargo hold, where’s your permit?” - If a bot convo me with that bullshyt I’m totally game. Way better than Safety trigger happy no fun.

:ccpguard:

roflmao Go ask ESO players how AI moderation worked out.

I see it like this, if they can use it to help untangle the spaghetti, go for it

Care to share? Go and do a comparative analysis to Valve’s AI anti-cheat implementation in CS:GO. Thank you, omegalol.

So you’re only cool with emergent gameplay when it’s done by literal bots?

This gave me my exit ramp.

My experience with the company and the game, before and after hiatus, have been mostly good. GM Team and customer service have been outstanding in my experience. Whatever brief interactions I had with devs were positive. I think this is a likeable crew of talented people, and I think they should be proud.

But I’m out.

To all the Backstage people: I enjoyed meeting your characters over the years and the intrigues we may or may not have gotten into. Thanks to the EDI FCs for teaching me logi, and for their sense of gallows humor.

Sub’s up in August so I will honor my payouts for pilots who kill Caldari at tomorrow’s event. Rest of my stuff gets donated or deleted.

Pearl Abyss Sold CCP to cover its’ losses that were not generated by CCP. CCPs’ revenue has just about doubled since 2018. Pearl Abyss otoh has lost more money on other projects unrelated to CCP, and Pearl has been transferring losses to their shareholders. The CCP sale replenishes Pearl’s cash position and strengthens its core business reserves. Pearl managed to stop losing money pretty much in the last quarter of 2025.

…and Google just invested in the new Fenris so Hilmar & Co. are just fine. Google is going to run an offline Eve Online instance and let Deepmind experiment with creating new player experiences and increasing Fenris revenue.

Anyone defending Pearl Abyss is a Whale 100%. I know what they are plenty of reputable companies that could own eve online and PA is not a good company. I have been here for 20 years. This game was very different before pearl abyss greed machine.

Well now this PA whale is telling you, go ahead and find someone else to blame… oh wait! CCP fell into bed with Google Deepmind and renamed to Fenris. I guess you can blame Google Deepmind now instead.

Have fun!

Looks like Google is that stupid. What a difference a day makes. Not that I am very paranoid, but knowing how Google puts telemetry on everything, I might have to beef up my security here. VPN might not be enough. I sure don’t need some stalker tracking me down through Google code just because I blew them up in some online PvP game.

They kinda licensed EVE code, they bought minor shares.

What they want with it? I don’t know.

For now. All they gotta do is let Hilmar be Hilmar and they can own the whole thing soon.
