If they wanted to, they could fire every single person that works for jagex and close runescape.

Not even that.

If their yes man decides to say no, they can simply unanimously decide to fire the CEO (and other executives if they so choose) and put in people that are not only yes men, but yes sir men.

Creative Freedom means diddly **** when you put this into context.

Again, completely wrong.
You guys really have no idea whats really going on here, all this is doing is freaking out other players...

idk how it would work specifically legally, but generally yes they can put in a new CEO when they wish, and there are more ways than one to get someone out of your company even if you're legally obligated to keep them. Usually you're able to repostion them in the company, so you can put him as some useless dead end job position that he'd hate until he quits.

Mate, do you even know how business works? If you do, you'd know the Board of Directors is a thing.

Yes, and context what a beautiful thing this is.

Lets ask WHY they are buying Jagex. Because its a stable investment.

What's a great way to make it unstable? Make a lot of changes really fast. Such as firing of staff or changing direction (such as making it pay2win focused).

SO if they have put a lot of chips in this basket, why would they ever consider to drop that basket of chips in the middle of a beach?

Its against their interests to ruin the game, they cant do a quick fleece and dump it if they buy 100% of it. They would lose a hell of a lot of money.

Why is no one actually thinking about this?

This could be one of the best things to happen to runescape. They are financial backers, they aren't interested in running the game. They aren't even fro the industry, so they are leaving it to people who know what they are doing.

There's no reason it should rise any differently to normal inflation.

You're not very good at this, are ye?
Actually, I do know, I've survived 3 out of the 4 businesses I've worked for that have went through this EXACT same situation here.

The 4th would of put me in a position where I could bid for chairman (due to my records with the company being wiped) and my current employers let me go in fear of me taking over.... but thats a completely different story.

The point is, I DO have experience with this kind of situation and know full well when a foreign company tries to buy out another company, they have very little freedoms when it comes to the innerworkings of a company. When the company has ZERO experience in the current company they are trying to buy, they have no freedoms in its management.
Regardless of what happens, Jagex will operate the same way they do now, if this purchase goes through the ONLY difference is where the paychecks go to and come from.
