Perfect World and Cryptic Studios Sold to Embracer Group, Will Operate Independently Under Gearbox | MMORPG.com
Swedish video game company Embracer Group, which added Gearbox Software to its portfolio early this year, has announced a series of acquisitions today. Among them is Perfect World Entertainment, which also owned Cryptic Studios. Perfect World and Cryptic Studios will remain independent studios but operate under Gearbox' publishing division going forward.

“Embracer Group — the parent company of Gearbox Entertainment, THQ Nordic, and others — announced today that they’ve acquired Dark Horse Media along with a number of other subsidiaries. Embracer now has over a dozen groups under its umbrella.
Dark Horse is known first and foremost for its comics division, which has both published famous non-superhero western comics like Hellboy and Sin City along with licensed work for franchises like Star Wars. The company has been the go-to publisher for various Nintendo materials in the West, largely in the form of art books for The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, Mario, and more.”
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Not sure what other games PWE had, but the 3 mmo's make a steady profit. Buy enough of what others consider dogs, that make steady money year in and out,...they can both add to a companies profits and make doing other things possible.
All depends on how much the price was if it was worth it.
Getting access to the Star Trek IP itself is worth it since they have an exclusive license atm with CBSinteractive.
Zenimax, Blizzard, NCSoft? All pretty much just resting on their laurels.

Played Perfect World years and years back as supposedly it was a good F2P game. All it did was confirm my concerns about F2P and how it could effect gameplay. But the exotic graphics (only having played Eastern solo not eastern MMO) setting was quite good for that time, which shows gameplay is more important than graphics.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
