Introduction

Google DeepMind bought a small part of a company called Fenris Creations. They want to use the game EVE Online to study AI.

Main Body

Fenris Creations was called CCP Games before. A group of managers bought the company for 120 million dollars. Now the company is independent. Fenris Creations lost money in 2023 and 2024. They spent a lot of money on new games. In 2025, the company made 70 million dollars. Google DeepMind wants to teach AI how to plan and remember things. They will use the game EVE Online for this. They will use special servers so they do not bother the players.

Conclusion

Fenris Creations is now its own company. It works with Google DeepMind to study AI in a game.

Learning

🕒 The 'Time Jump'

Look at how the story moves from the past to the future. This is a key A2 skill: switching between yesterday and tomorrow.

The Past (What happened)

  • was called → (It had a name before)
  • bought → (They paid money)
  • lost → (Money went away)
  • spent → (They used money)

The Future/Intent (What they want)

  • want to use → (Goal)
  • will use → (Plan)

The Present (Right now)

  • is now → (Current state)
  • works with → (Current action)

💡 Quick Tip: When you see "will", the action hasn't happened yet. When you see "-ed" (like called or spent), the action is finished.
