The new owners are something else. Not everything can be monetized, especially in such a cheesy way... To me it is akin to having, uncle George, a car salesman, in a checker suit, in a booth, selling cars at a wedding...totally inappropriate. If you can visualize, the car salesman, Mr.Wormwood, from Roald Dahl's book, Matilda and then so brilliantly portrayed, by the actor Danny DeVito, years later, the picture is complete.

This is disheartening, but since Dice is the new owner I cannot say I am amazed.
