    wdp bought out by DYE (what if)

    well i had heard from a friend that wdp was bought out by dye, while i think it is more than safe to consider it a rumor

    ex since it isnt plastered all over pbn yet.


    It got me thinking though,...what would be the possible outcome of such a sellout/merger

    what would it mean for the players, and the community as a whole.

    Dont think it would happen.

    I love WDP products and I love Dyes stuff too. But I dont think it could be for the paintball community if they joined.

          What if the cow jumped over the moon ?
          Hey diddle diddle,
          the cat and the fiddle,
          The cow jumped over the moon,
          The little dog laughed to see such sport,
          And the dish ran away with the spoon.

              i dont see any real advantages to this, both have great technology, and great products, but a merge would only have corprate benefits.

                a business goal is to make $

                ...so if dye could increase its revenue in any way shape or form,..do you think they would pass up the opportunity

                personman personman,
                hit on the head with a frying pan,
                lives his life in a garbage can,
                personman
                is he depressed or is he a mess,
                does he feel totaly worthless
                who came up with personman'
                degraded man,
                personman

                  Possibly...
                  Dye allows WDP to continue as usual operating semi-independently but maybe with some parts bin sharing maybe lowering the cost, while full filling each company's own niche but maybe slipping in a last gen spool marker, possibly a mask and an extensive line of playing gear.

                  That seems like a possible scenario... Kinda like GM back in the day when Buick, Pontiac, Chevy, Olds, GMC were all competing for your money... Buy an Elky? or a Sprinter?

                    Is it easy to buy out a foreign company?

                      Happens here all the time. Daimler-Chrysler anyone?
