What were the offers on the table that NC Soft turned down?
Food for thought, but if the compnay tanks, they may have to reestablish the game for survivals sake. If not, if they sell, do we have a strategy here to put a foot in the door, or aquire funding to buy it.
How far are we willing to go here? Is there a serious enough presnece here to step up, if the opportunity presents itself?
I don't really do anything setrious without a plan, what is the plan here in the event that the IP becomes available?
What do we need to do here to get a strategic plan for aquisition of the IP if and when it becomes available?
Is there contact with the old team, and if given the opportunity would they return to this IP?
Tick Tock, Tick Tock, folks...
If it comes down to having to purchase the IP ourselves, I'm willing to put in, as I stated a couple times earlier when I first got here. But yea, it will be millions that will be needed even at bottom line wholesale price. I havea couple of more people I know that would be willing to throw money in too, and one that I will have to sell the idea to.
But with the many as they stated well off people we have here, we can do it I believe if we wanted to.
Also with getting the money together it's not as simple as gathering money from various people here as when buying property like that in that manner a lot of legal stuff come into play, not saying legal stuff is bad and or cant be overcome, just saying there will be some beyond the collect money and go buy it.
Even if worse case in bankruptcy, which something really really bad need to happen as it is said that NCSoft have a very low debt compared to the amount of cash they have laying around. Bankruptcy is usually to liquidate assets to pay off creditors. If things really hit the fan, more than likely they will pay off the little debt they have with the cash and just go defunct or just small enough where they are still a company that just hold on the IPs. I think before they hit banruptcy, Nexon probably will buy the stuff in an inside deal first or just upsurp it and still we will be in the same boat now except not with NCSoft but with Nexon.
For the stocks to be going down, one thing that is unusual is it seems that NCSoft is not worried so much, not to mention so soon after the CEO sold off his stock, and relatively soon after Nexon joined the fray. I cant pin point it, but seems like something is going on between Nexon and NCSoft that would be rather frowned upon Stateside but still commonly happens in the corporate world even in the US. As much as many people wish it, I doubt NCSoft is going anywhere anytime soon. Although they make bonehead moves, I do not believe they are complete idiots or green when it comes to corporate buisness. Seen many "Lower the stock prices, "outside" company buys a bunch of them for the low price, stock prices in a "miracle" fashion, rises" scenarios.
Something fishy seems to be going, I can smell it but I dont see the fish yet.
