One of the countries which has suffered the most under the economic crisis is Iceland, which is practically bankrupt at this time. This also has some consequences for the games industry, since one of the most respectable MMO developers called CCP games is based in the capital of Iceland. 

Because of current restrictions on the trade, it is very difficult to attract new foreign investments, investments that the company depends on for future projects and expansion. If there is no change, then they might need to leave Iceland to secure the future of their company. If they would leave then they could settle down at one of their other studios in Atlanta or Shanghai or look for a new location.

On three shiny floors of a former fish factory is CCP, a company best known in computer gaming for Eve isk, which has 300,000 participants all over the world - as many inhabitants as Iceland itself. However, restrictions on access to foreign currency for individuals and businesses and on foreign investment into Iceland are making life difficult. "To make new games, we need foreign investors," says Eyjolfur Gudmundsson, formerly an assistant professor at the University of Akureyri, who supervises Eve isk virtual economy. "The present currency restrictions are putting us in a straitjacket. We are in talks with the government, but if we can't let capital in, we might be compelled to leave Iceland, even though this would be against our wishes."
For the subscribers of EVE isk there won't be much problems, since the servers are based in Londen, still it would be sad to see a company leave their country of origin.
