I have been expecting an announcement in the first week of November on the progress towards a sale (expectation pieced together from a variety of facts, rumors and a reasonable understanding of the M&A process) but I now think that is less likely. A poster on triple i last week more than likely has it right when he reported feedback from the city that the company wants a few months longer to prove that the model has kicked in and there is benefit in at least delaying a sale until next year when any valuation can be based on a more proven business model. The two announcements this last week on game availability after a dearth of news suggests there will be a steady flow of such announcements as the games are deployed, keeping visibility high and investors encouraged. I can't see any point in making those announcements if a sale is imminent. I've reset my expectations of a sale short term at a price not much higher than recent levels. I suspect there is enough evidence now to give those major investors who forced the for sale to go up to give it a few more months to get a better price, or to reject a lower offer in the next few weeks and hold out for more.
I think the outlook is a little rosier than I had hoped.
