長年運営されている宇宙MMO『EVE Online』の開発・販売元であるアイスランドの企業が、社名をCrowd Control ProtectionsからFenris Creationsに変更した。この動きは、中国共産党（CCP）との混同が長年続いていたことを受けたものであり、かつての所有者であるPearl Abyssからの自社買い戻しと時期を同じくしている。
最高経営責任者（CEO）のヒルマー・ベイガー・ペトゥルソン氏は、今回のリブランドは増大するブランド名の衝突に対処するものだと述べた。同氏は、記者が同スタジオをもう一つのCCPと呼んだり、従業員が米国国境で社名について質問を受けたりしたことなどを指摘した。同社は、当該政治組織（中国共産党）に対して略称の使用を争うことはしない選択をした。
