We believe that Changyou's carve-out IPO allows for a sharper focus on the MMORPG business and related strategic opportunities while simultaneously helping us to pave the way for Sohu to push ahead with our long-term vision to maintain our position as a leading Internet company in China. Following the IPO, Sohu remains as Changyou's majority shareholder, and we expect to continue to provide Changyou with strong marketing and game development support."
