Honestly with @Noxywoxy as our CEO and the people we met at Riot, I don't see us change our spirit as one of the most player-focused studios out there. In contrast, they were very open to helping us when needed and otherwise empower our strengths.
There is also the relationship of me personally with Hypixel and my 6 year long journey. I've taken a lot of risk in the past, like leaving university during the EULA apocalpyse - just because I believed in the vision and spirit of the company.
I totally understand when the first reaction from someone to an acquisition is pessimistic, I am guilty of that myself. Especially in gaming and sports our relationships with companies become personal. We spend so much time as a fan and/or player that it gets emotional.
I've personally never had the feeling that either of them were willing to sacrifice an inch of our company's spirit which was the foundation of our journey to even start Hytale and get here. This has lead to many decisions you can find in our FAQ:
First of all this entire process has been exceptional, especially the way we were treated as employees and contractors. There has been an incredible level of transparency and visibility throughout the entire process by @Noxywoxy and @Simon_Hypixel.
The acquisition by Riot Games has been such an amazing and much needed development in our company's history. I'd like to give some personal thoughts as someone working on Hytale and Hypixel for 6 years. Thread 👇

@magnificant15 @JohnArnoldFndtn It's just not that easy, sadly. IT security needs to be guaranteed and many end user devices are infected with malicious software. You'd possibly not even notice you are voting for a different candidate if your machine is infected.

This is so effective as the hashtag gets recommended to users because it is on trending instead of redirecting users to the useful hashtags, thus creating a feedback loop until the algorithm promotes the next hashtag.
I keep seeing this being abused to spread false information as it "resets" the popular tweets and allows to promote anything for a significant time until normal users drown the false information.
The Twitter trending algorithm is just fundamentally flawed. Every day it promotes the use of different Coronavirus Hashtags. Today we have #COVIDー19 with a Japanese symbol as instead of a dash.
@PrienKarin @dPetersBILD @buergerschaftHH @TiesRabe Solch ein Alleingang ist skandalös. Haben Sie sich nicht mit anderen Bildungsministern abgestimmt? Sie verunsichern Prüflinge bundesweit! Nichts ist schlimmer als Unsicherheit und so eine halbgare Kommunikation hat gerechte Prüfbedingungen endgültig beendet. #Abitur
Really disappointed that @disneyplus staggers content which was already released in other parts of the world. This is why piracy exists.
@ahashim @helmutgranda @johnlindquist @Roblox I've spend hundreds of hours in front of the Warcraft 3 map editor which taught me how to make game logic. Always appreciate when someone treats computers as more than a consumption gateway!
@aliglenesk @johnlindquist My dad frustrated eventually and did this aswell. I bought a used router which I plugged in when he went to bed and then unplugged it when I went to bed. Wild times...
@SWADER_17 @Hytale I can tell you we are using everything the Java and C# ecosystem offers us to make use of the available hardware as much as feasable. :) You can extrapolate the answer from that. Have a good day!
@roflman097 @Tagesspiegel Es erinnert mich halt einfach an die Bilder der amerikanischen Baptist Church, wenn sie homosexuellen HIV wünschen. Die Menschlichkeit wird mit Füßen getreten. Jede Infektion ist eine Tragödie.
