Investment decisions are about looking forward into the prospect of a product. It is not about the current decline in players nor about pleasing the existing players. It is about making it a product attractive to a new group of players.
Monroe was right about the intrinsic value that PA has, hence it could be an interesting investment.
And I think that we all agree that PA needs an overhaul. So that isn't an issue imo.
Answer to the questions posed:

A. I would pay the market value, whatever it is.
B. To offer a good game to nice people, BUT with the decent structure behind it that it needs.
C. If I would buy, it would all be mine... Mine... MINE!
D. For my ego.
E. Yes, the management side would be mine
F. I would go for break-even.
