The majority owner in MA is both the founder and the CEO and will be so even after the investment round.
What are you afraid off? |
Very true Marco, although as a longtime player I also feel somewhat trepid at the prospect of
PE expanding so exponentially in the near future. But certainly, this is no surprise to me (nor should it be to anyone).
We should like to see MA expand financially- it will generate more things in game that we all wish to see. It will bring more stability to
MA (not that they aren't already stable, but more investors can only help). And, I can't wait until I can run around Ithaca shouting Konichiwa to Tokyo friends
Some1 said some pages back that they regard all of us depositing players as investors of sorts. I can relate to this attitude and also think of all of us as pseudo-investors who can and have made our voices heard via our wallets. However, we must not forget that we are still just players, depositing what we wish to deposit (and what we wish to lose) in order to have fun... we are not actual investors despite the amount at stake we may have.
As for bridge- I am personally going to keep following the discussion as most of us will I suspect. Both sides of the debate make valid arguments. Perhaps, eventually,
MA will be available publicly for any and all to invest... until then, I certainly would not put my money into bridge but more power to the peeps that do I suppose.
