"I do see your point, and China is huge with a market much larger than the Euro and North American population, however, just because the company is a Chinese company does not mean that a majority of Chinese people will start playing. Example: I am an American, and I play RS and Jagex is a company founded and run in the UK; now if 50% of player stop playing this game, because Jagex sells, there would not be enough new Chines players to fill the loss. Imagine if more than 50% quit the game. Just because it is a Chines company does not mean Chines people will play it for that reason. Chines Internet is limited, so you are not looking at a potential billion, you are looking at a much lower demographic. Also may things things in this game are taboo in China. I said it before and I will say it again, China is the fun police. I am not completely opposed to Jagex selling, but not to a company located in one of the 3 communist countries left in the word, that have no idea how to allow individual thinking, and expressions of freedom."

Perhaps the best place to begin addressing that -wall- is this:
You are aware that China has its' own iteration of world of warcraft, right? I mean, they modified it how they saw fit and it runs just fine (and is populated enough over there).
China (by all reported accounts) has more gamers than NA and Europe, combined.
The current players refusing to play it (for whatever reason) have absolutely nothing to do with how many WILL play it once it's available in China. You're only kidding yourself if you believe the American and Euro players would (or even could) prevent gamers in China from playing it.
