Potential Acquisition - Update

It wouldn't be unreasonable or uncommon for stipulations to be put into the purchase agreement about the company staying UK based.
And it would seem that the "pack" that most people seem to be following are doomsayers predicting the death of RuneScape (just as they have done for over a decade). So yes, you are following the pack.
It would be ridiculous for the investors to lock RuneScape down to only China. For starters, they aren't simply going to have millions of customers in China overnight. It took Jagex a year to even reach 1 million accounts created, and that was before membership was even available. It would be ridiculous to assume that millions of new customers in China will simply pop up overnight and start forking out cash. And what kind of investor would simply turn their backs on millions of paying customers in hopes that they can somehow rebuild that customer base in China.
As for Jagex's "other games"... Jagex doesn't really have any other highly profitable games right now. Most of the games they have developed or purchased have either been scrapped or have been abandoned by the majority of players. There is no way they would remain profitable if they shut down RuneScape.
They have two new games right now that are being released/developed; RuneScape Chronicles and RuneScape Idle Adventures (the mobile game). Chronicle will most likely go the same path as the other games Jagex has tried to put out, a massive influx of players upon release, and then quickly dwindles out. Idle Adventures isn't going to be released for quite some time, so we can't even factor that into the equation.
There's a reason why people generally refer to RuneScape when discussing Jagex as RuneScape is their flagship game, the one that makes the profit, the one that has managed to survive, even after dozens of other games were developed and purchased only to fail.
