Gauging interest in a return of Red vs Blue, including folks who would help keep the two structures safe

Per the title.

RvB is an old-time classic that eventually died out. I think it could be popular again. I am willing to bankroll this and make it go. The difficulty now is that in order to maintain a war dec you have to have a structure, which wasn't a requirement before. You'd have to have both corps holding a structure that wouldn't just get nuked for the sake of it. This would require some folks in high places to be willing to help in addition to RvB participants to make sure that didn't happen.

But similar to the old RvB you have to accept an abundance of completely dumb war decs in addition to the standard engagement war. These extraneous wars are effectively content, it just sucks if the structures get nuked to turn off the war between the two. In "Ye Olde Days" the two would just go Purple, recruit each other as allies in the war, and go to town.

I think it could be fun, just wondering if people would be into it, or have alts to throw in there for the gud fites.

I feel like a lot of yall did not actually read the release.

Google partners for a 20% minority stake in the company, now allegedly valued around $120m. That's effectively a $24m investment. What does Google get in return? A private test server and a minority stake. That's it.

This is unironically probably the best deal that CCP has ever made. Probably better than when they fleeced Pearl Abyss for $250m.

I keep seeing people be like "lol AI bubble is already popping" and "too late, ram prices cratering." That literally doesn't matter, CCP hooked a $24m minority stake buy-in, and all they had to do was give Google their own test server. An insane deal for once.

<EVE is dying meme goes here, lets get that out of the way>

As of now, CCP themselves haven't had any kind of press release on management buying back the company. If there are to be negative consequences or outlook from the sale, I don't expect CCP would disclose that before or during Fanfest. They are not going to announce some kind of potentially troubling restructure, project closures (Frontier, Vanguard), etc, before their biggest fans fly across the world. However if it genuinely is a huge boon for CCP I'd imagine they will talk about it. Management buying back from an investor is usually spun very publicly as a "Dobby free" sort of thing, you see it all the time.

I sort of have this feeling that if Fanfest comes and goes and still the only evidence of the sale is the public filing and a Korean Inven post then horrors may lie ahead? Like imminently following Fanfest? It is odd to me that CCP themselves have not released a statement over at https://www.ccpgames.com/news considering that there are third party news outlets reporting it. It's pretty standard fare for a company to have a press release ready to go ASAP.
