Chalk that one up to talent acquisition. Nobody buys a company and then closes it if what they want is to develop the product; they buy it and close it when what they want is the talent solely focused on their own, in-house projects. Which is fine. It just begs the question: How much would someone have to pay you to drown X months of development work and your entire userbase in the Deadpool? It's an interesting question. For how many people is a buyout, a 9 - 5 job, and some 0s in the bank account a desirable, worthwhile exit strategy? How many 0s does it take to make an option that's viable into one that's desirable?

They don't have to pay you, they just need to send the in-house destruction team. > How many 0s does it take to make an option that's viable into one that's desirable? How much does it take to fix a "man barely alive" into something that is "better, stronger, faster"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLs0V8T5AA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLs0V8T5AA
