Just asking:
1) Why would anyone buy the database unless they were interested in some kind of trivia contest?
2) Why is the stock up 185%?

Of course this has to be approved by buzztime shareholders, which it will as there are not that many player shareholders to outvote the investors. Other than myself I don’t know of any. I’ll vote no but that won’t do much good.

have you forgotten about me? i attended the last in-person shareholder meeting they ever had, that led to the end of the time zone split. i still have 5 "shares" that once upon a time was 250 shares bought in 1994 at $3.625 back when that was known as 3 and 5 eighths and Pete Rozelle was a boardmember. i'll vote no and then i guess i will be part owner of a brooklyn bridge huh

I can see a company acquiring the question and player DBs, and then trying to get an online-only system going. I don't see anyone trying to start a new system that retains the unique quality of NTN/BT: being able to play with friends at a physical location. As I play various individual-player games (LearnedLeague, Sporcle) as well as participate in a team doing a weekly virtual live game, I can't imagine being interested in a new system unless someone found a way to allow team play that allowed team members to talk with each other and thereby almost replicate the in-person experience. But for the moment, I'm thinking about contacting the owner of Coaches Pub, telling him NTN/BT going away, and opening the discussion on in-person live-hosted trivia from my daughter's and my enterprise and/or an established hosting company such as Challenge or Sporcle.

Had it made it to December, I would have been playing for a quarter of a century.

Players now are playing by app only with zoom or conference calls to the rest of the team. This is taking the place of being able to assemble in the bars.

If a new buyer goes online or app only with the games, we will play the same, on the app sitting next to each other at the bar. (When it’s safe) That’s pretty much the way it’s been for awhile. As long as there is a function to log into a team site real or virtual. I can see 100 virtual sites across the country which will take the place of the bars by name. We would still sit in a bar to play or at home on zoom.

I think it’s very possible a buyer takes Buzztime all app, no tablets or boxes. That would reduce the cost for both Buzztime and the bars.

What happened to the company's original founder? Also, wasn't the company broken up and sold in parts many years ago?
