Here's my bit. I don't care. Hopefully, Albert has the terms of what's he's been offered actually under contract. Of course, who knows what will occur when Atari changes hands or it, itself, gets parted out.
I enjoy the forum. I enjoy our community. We're small enough and any relocation attempt will fragment us. I'm not interested. My contributions are here.
Now, for folks paying membership fees - that's on you. I am not a paying member now. I definitely wouldn't pay a corporate ownership that is inevitably going to exploit our participation for profit. I don't see a problem with that, but I wouldn't pay more. They'll get their money, or fail.
Anyhow, congratulations are due for Albert. His hard work has paid off for him and allows him to continue his passion. As long as he is content, since it seems his motivations were pretty golden here, I think we'll be fine. When he departs, you'll know the ruse is up.
