This is what can happen if you don't hold out and say No.. If you are happy do not sell. Greed will be returned on you in a bad way.

This is a crazy case and a classic news piece-- It's as funny as it is tragic and weird.

"We grew up on the internet and understand this brand better than anyone ever could. We are grateful to have found a partner in GameSquare who sees that value in us and can help execute our vision. We're going to produce first, talk later."
