And jagex abandoning those other games necessarily means a new owner would do the same? Considering that those games don't have any real customers, why would the new owners pay any attention to them? They're not going to spend money in an attempt to try and force a dead game back to life.

The 'pack' I'm talking about is your group.. the one that believes everything is peachy and there's not gonna be any changes because I don't want to see any changes pack. I don't have a "pack". I am simply here to relay accurate information, and to dismiss any ridiculous claims that defy all business logic. As I have stated numerous times already "Only time will tell".

Soon enough nexus, one of us is going to be rolling on the floor laughing at the other. Time is going to tell what changes take place (and where they take place at lmao). I doubt it. I have no interest in laughing at someone for being wrong about something. We're all human, we all make mistakes. I have no need to laugh at anyone for being wrong. And it won't be you laughing at me because frankly, your opinion of what you perceive will happen is utterly ridiculous. Sure, there may be changes made, but they aren't going to be the drastic doomsayer changes that you are predicting.

So because you can't make Kung Pao shrimp means I should throw away my recipe and stop making it? Or both of us with the same ingredients and you believe I should make what you make because I don't have ideas of my own?

ROFL you are funny!

I'm gonna have to say it again.. you ARE funny. You claim to be here to "relay accurate information" and it's a FACT that you don't have any more information than anyone else here. You're voicing your own OPINION and wanting everyone to believe you're the one with the "accurate information". Too funny rofl.

Or both of us with the same ingredients and you believe I should make what you make because I don't have ideas of my own? That isn't an apt analogy. An apt analogy would be something along the lines of a restaurant being bought up, and then trying to re-add things to the menu that were already proven to be unsuccessful. If no one has bought the Kung Pao shrimp for the last 5 years, and it was removed from the menu specifically because of that, then why would a new owner waste time and money attempting to add it back to the menu when they already know that no one is ordering it.

Feel free to go back and review all the posts I have made on this thread and the previous thread. You'll see that I'm not just posting my opinions, I'm actually doing research on the topic, and getting the actual facts about the company and the situation. I'm not just making up things that I think might happen in the future.

Nah, before I even read your post nexus, I realize I didn't explain the analogy appropriately for someone who doesn't cook.

For those who don't cook..

You and I are both given the same ingredients.. exactly the same.. as in, jagex and the new owners of jagex both have all the games in the current jagex portfolio..

We are both told to 'cook a meal' (jagex and it's new owners both want to make money, if you argue that fact, there's no point in reading further).

We can both choose to cook the exact same meal (current jagex and new owners of jagex can both decide to do business as usual) or...

OR, you can cook fried shrimp and a stir fry veggies with a side of rice (jagex can choose to ignore the vast majority of games they currently have) and I can make Kung Pao shrimp with Chicken Teriyaki over rice (the new owners can do what they want with ANY of the games in THEIR portfolio).

The analogy fits perfectly.. for a cook to understand it. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Hopefully the deal won't go thru. There's always a chance that they'll back out or lose financing.

Just remember to be nice to our "chinese overlords". They might do good for the company.

Or if things get really bad, we can buy out jagex and fix runescape once and for all.

Yeah and we'll start firing the "Problems" one after another...lol

The analogy fits perfectly.. for a cook to understand it. I'm not sure why you assume I don't cook. Even after your explanation it still isn't an apt analogy.

We're given the same ingredients, and a list of meals we can cook, with statistics about how popular each meal is. I chose the most popular meal. You chose the most unpopular meal. Who has the greater chance of selling their meal? It makes logical business sense to cook the popular meal, rather than the unpopular meal. Your chance of selling a meal is greatly diminished when you're cooking unpopular meals. So what's the point in trying to cook meals that have already been proven to be unpopular? It's a waste of time, money, and effort, just as it would be a waste of time, money, and effort to try and revive games that have already been proven to be so unpopular that they aren't even advertised anymore.

^That is an apt analogy.

I stopped reading there because you've made the assumption that we were given a list of meals we can cook.. and nowhere in that did I say we were restricted to a certain list of meals to cook (and the new owners do NOT have restrictions on what they can do with ANY of the games in the portfolio).

Sorry, apparently I needed to explain that the list of meals equates to the list of games that Jagex currently owns. I thought that was obvious, but apparently not.

ROFLM***

So because they don't like Kung Pao shrimp in the Pacific Northwest, I shouldn't be offering it to a new audience on the East Coast?

I mean, China is a different ballgame dude. They like different things as much as the next fella. I don't know why you assume that just because one company does something one way means that another company MUST do the exact same things.
