The Icelandic game developer CCP games was acquired by the Korean Pearl Abyss. I thought CCP would stay independent and develop Eve Online further with standalone games in the same universe. The biggest Icelandic game developer is Korean now. RIP CCP.
These studios were downsized and eventually shut down after being acquired: Westwood Studios, Bullfrog, Lionhead, Pandemic Studios etc. Please don't let this happen to Frontier Developments. Stay independent and strong or the big publishers will crush the Elite IP.

EVE Online studio CCP Games has been acquired by Pearl Abyss
EVE Online studio CCP Games has been acquired by Pearl Abyss, the Korean developer of the fantasy MMO Black Desert Online. Pearl Abyss said that CCP will continue to operate its existing studios in Reykjavik, London, and Shanghai independently while its "extensive development and publishing expertise" will be integrated into current and future Pearl Abyss projects.
"CCP is a seasoned publisher with over 15 years of digital distribution experience and know-how. They have done an incredible job of engaging and maintaining their playerbase, which we aim to learn from and hope to integrate natively into Pearl Abyss’ general practices across all our games," Pearl Abyss CEO Robin Jung said in a statement.
"I am confident CCP’s reputable IP and expertise in global publishing will help reaffirm our company’s dedication to developing and servicing the world’s best MMORPGs."
