I find nothing positive in this announcement :(

You guys have been, to quote my 6 year old, EPIC at developing this game from the initial closed beta when I stumbled across you. I really hope that doesn't change, but in all honesty I have a sinking feeling in my gut that this marks the end of the what is the best game I have played since Ultima Online

Although i said that Chris Wilson is the Richard Garriott of ARPG. We need to acknowledge that unlike Lord British, ChrisT Wilson is actually good in business.
I remember when Lord British left origin after EA got them, however back then Publishers were the only way to distribute content, so they held all the cards if needed funding, now its not like that at all.

This is and Investment, not an Acquisition.

To quote John McAfee "Will eat my d**k if wrong".

Hello darkness my old friend.

Sorry Chris, but you can't sell 80% of the company and think you remain independent.

Very very very disappointed.
I am sure it is a great move for the creators, but as a supporter since the beginning this is a huge slap in the face.

He is not selling the company, he sold 80% of the profits in exchange for bulk amount of money securing the development for the next 5-10 years.
