Can someone explain to me why this is bad, i can legitimately not comprehend this.
This is potentially, horrendously, bad for the game because of the huge possibility of the introduction of MORE MTX than there already are in RS3.
Look at all the other Asian MMOs on the market today. If they're F2P, they are especially prone to having massive amounts of MTX in the game. Maple Story is possibly the best/worst example of MTX in a game.
Would it be awesome if they kept out of all development decisions? Yes. But it's far more likely that they would implement even more than we see now. I love RS3, but it gets a bit tiring to see a MTX promotion nearly every week.
Don't even get me started on OSRS, they're probably not safe if the major owner/investor wants to see higher short term profits. Long term profit (should be) > short term profit, but it seems that many modern companies don't see it that way.
There are also several red flags concerning the Chinese company looking to acquire Jagex. They're failing (I've heard) and they also have no experience in the video game industry. They're literally a mining company. Those are setting off alarm bells for me.
