It would be beautiful if he just handed the keys over to a true believer when it's time. Just a quality, stand up person who already has a pocket full of cash and just wants to help gamers get games and indie devs distribute them without squeezing every drop of profit they can at every step.

edit: it'd be even beautifuler if he turned it over to a trust managed by a panel of elected employee representatives

i feel like there have to be at least three, from his (family? Does he have one? I believe he does, but can't be bothered to check)

to someone in the company, perhaps there are numerous positions that exist solely to prevent this kind of hostile takeover from happening? Who knows!
