My opinion is, top players and streamers will say "holy firetruck osu got acquired". And then the company will license more songs (like Konami) so that early DMCAs from Konami can be removed.

What will you do if ppy Pty Ltd gets acquired by a Japanese company for $30 million?

Probably wouldn't change much, but it's very unlikely to happen.
I bet they'll start putting ads on the website and milk the fanbase
If a larger company acquires osu!, especially a Japanese owned one, there would be less leniency with copyright. We wouldn't get away with using songs to the scale that we've been pulling them now.
Also, I'm kinda enjoying how easy it is to contact staff, and the developer himself. That would change for the worse if a larger company acquires osu!.
I doubt a larger company would want to deal with the legal issues that come with that though, so we're golden for the foreseeable future.

a company's goal is to make money, and currently osu! has potential to make a lot of money.
There's no way an open-source rhythm game will be acquired by any corpo. It would be a dumb move, and they would have to make a different version with a commercial license (take a look at Nexuiz Classic, when the Nexuiz name was registered with Ilfonic).

I don't buy that. One of the first things he did was to paywall a verification mark so that anyone could buy them. And we all know how that turned out right? He's just trying to find another cash cow to squeeze.Neigdoig wrote:

SEGA, or not at all.
