A billion USD is a lot. A much smaller amount would get you moving. Well, at least my person for sure. I know quite a bit about the background of SM. As for buying the game, basically I wouldn't buy it as a gamer, but as a private person. Alexander would work for me as a programmer. He knows the game so he is an obvious choice. As for upgrading the game. No new SM would take place. But adjustments would be made regularly to weapons, torsos, etc. Not once in 2-5 years. Discord and forum would be taken as a suggestion, I give him an order and he does it. Subsequently, an additional buff or nerf will be made. But he will also work hard on what is visible and what the community demands. If not, someone else will...
