Is it really?
I have only personally been through one acquisition personally but I do follow the game industry acquisitions. In those cases the companies have continued to largely operate as if nothing is happening until it actually closes.
If for some reason the deal doesn't close it is a huge risk to the company to not continue to operate as normal.
- philistine 5y agoGame companies are usually making art products sold per unit. To continue as is while an acquisition is going through, you can't stop development and not release new titles; the company would go broke before it got bought! Twitter is a forever product; it means that maintaining the product and its revenues the same while the acquisition is happening is possible. There's also the underlying idea that perhaps Elon has said he has big plans, but no one at Twitter knows what those are and if they even exist. Better err on caution with Fickle Musk.
