Time to think about monetizing ALL my games and not just RS3, with marketing managers doing this to all the Jagex games now and future, as our friend Unity CEO John Riccitiello said developers not thinking about monetization in designing games are <censored> idiots:

"Translate product strategy and commercial targets into long term marketing strategies focused on acquisition, engagement, and
monetization
, with detailed requirements ensuring brand compliance and consistency."

Sounds like John Riccitiello is over-compensating for something.


He got a point though. Do you think I would still have this CEO job keep getting just 6% revenue growth annually while the industry was chalking up 24% jump?

I need to monetize all my projects because I am working for a big investment firm.

I have to let it happen, I have to change. Can't let my company's revenue and profits down at heel. So I'll choose MTX. I love you and hope you'll love it. :)

I will definitely need whoever handling the official RS3 Jagex video communications, especially on Twitch, to give me a complete report on what happened to the missing and reappearing of a lot of official videos, many scheduled and announced livestreams not being made and without notice, aa well as why important and communications made specific to the public like Game Jam not being released this year.

I'll need this report and communicate with the Carlyle Group ASAP.

It is time to put in some good effects to get a good haul of new and long lapsed players back to Runescape through projects like FSW and SMITE crossover, before I have to move onto new Runescape and Jagex Partner games.

Financials! Financials! Financials will always be a concern of all for profit businesses. It seems like even more so for Jagex now as they have missed filing their 2021 Financial Reports with Companies Houses by more than 10 days:

"Accounts overdue
Next accounts made up to 31 December 2021
due by 30 September 2022

Last accounts made up to 31 December 2020"


https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03982706

IIRC, Jagex has mostly been on time filing their Companies House statements except in 2012-2013 resulting in Companies House filing a proposal to strike them off. They eventually filed months later, revealing the worst financial performance in years.

It seems like me and my CFO will have a lot of works in the coming years to bring monetization of all my company's games to industry standard. :)

Seems like Carlyle Group has heard I said a while ago (other than the big $$$ Pipeworks M&A) too. As it stands today, Jagex has received the go-ahead and also established the Unannounced Survival Game, Space Punks, This Means Warp, Melvor Idle as well as the Runescape Kingdoms board game and partnership with SMITE on the pipeline.

I'll keep the momentum building with the guidance of Carlyle Group.
Once again, Dilbert2001, we appreciate your determined dedication and contributions to the advancement of RuneScape.


You are welcome, and to be more precise, they are my duties and prerogatives not just to contribute to the advancement of Runescape, but also plenty of new games and franchises Jagex and their partners with the like mind are going to make.

Thank you for your post. It reminded me to update my mission statement I made on Page 11, Post 5:

"I will definitely need to remind myself I am the CEO of Jagex, not merely just the CEO of a certain game or project of Jagex."


Now, I will definitely need to remind myself I am the CEO of Jagex and Pipeworks, and probably more companies and projects coming up, not merely just the CEO of a certain Runescape game or project.


Today, Jagex has finally hired a new head of Marketing for not just RS3 and OSRS but new future Runescape IP as well as Pipeworks and Jagex Partners, and more. This reminds me even more so I am the CEO of a subsidiary of the World's top 3 private equity fund. I need to prepare to work on a lot of games going forward.
