Time will tell, but this is a little scary.
But I can understand. Andreas if he is nearing retirement was ready to cash out. And all of the non programming stuff was a headache to Markus.
I would feel better if there was some sort of 'buy back clause' where Markus could take back the IP for an agreed upon price.
But it seems like they sold the entire IP.
Looking at this from the Com2US side of things...
You don't buy an IP and expect the same level of sales. You want to increase sales. In todays market that does not really mean selling more copies. It means monetizing your game.
That is the part that worries me.
For them to have a ROI they have to monetize the game further.
Unless when they looked at the PT financials and thought 'wow, we want a piece of this'
