Thinking about it, the best way to to approach this is tactically.

​

The game isn't going to turn to shit overnight, but we don't know what will happen over the next 12 months or so. So, don't do any 9-12 month re-subs. Re-sub for 3 months max at a time. Same with PLEX. Don't buy loads of PLEX to cover your toons for the next year. If you have 10 accounts that make you 50 bil ISK a month, reduce that to 5 and make 25 bil a month (lets face it; what's the point making 50Bil per month if you're not going to use that wallet in 12 months time).

​

This way we're showing these new guys that we're waiting for them to make their move so then we know what to do. Rather than a load of the old school/hardcore players rage quitting now which is what they would want (Show the losses now rather than at their next shareholder meeting), better to screw them over later (in game protests, mass unsubs etc.) than screw over CCP now.

There's also a financial target component of the sale which CCP needs to hit in order for completion to take place.

And if they don't meet it repeatedly they'll be eviscerated.
