I have not been part of a change of hands with no prior notice yet. Considering all the other people who replied here mainly saying the opposite, I have to consider myself lucky.
Not being told is a really bad thing. I like knowing who is responsible for what ever happens, considering it is a centralized service. In the few non gambling related such events of administration changes, I typically prefer to rather sit back, retreat from the scene and wait to see what happens next. You never truly know what comes with the change.
More over, it is very rare that people sell their business to a new administration while not caring that much about the profit. See Elon Musk, he did not only purchase Twitter. He rebranded it, he fired people, he changed a LOT of how it works. This is what I rather know and see before I re join the crib or simply never come back ever again.
