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.

Congratulations- I could not care less.

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.

Aaaaaand you just contradicted yourself.

As I said: you're not very good at this, are ye lass? :)

Seeing as my points make more sense than "They could just gut the entire company"
Yes I am. :P

Not to mention I never contradicted myself. That was done by the company I worked for before they were purchased, that had nothing to do with the purchase itself, they had been trying to get rid of me for that one reason for months before the company I worked for was even OFFERED a deal.

I think the game will be fine as long as the mining company only treats the acquisition as an investment and leaves Jagex's management independent. However I do hope that the company will not go out of business and drag Jagex along with it.

As for opportunities in Asia, I'm not that optimistic about it. There is no potential market for Runescape at least in China simply because the game does not fit into the Chinese culture. And I'm saying this as a Chinese living in Hong Kong. So if that's the plan, it's most likely going to fail.

As much as I want Jagex to get more Asian players into Runescape, I know it's going to be a really difficult and near impossible task. If they are planning to sell Jagex for this, they should really think twice before signing the contract.

That's my humble opinion. Excuse my English.

my co-worker went through the same thing, and essentially they did gut the whole company, added new management, and they would have kept him but put him down a few positions so he said ***** it and quit before things went downhill. but it really depends on how they've done their employee contracts.

stuff goes here

if Jagex told you to eat your shoe, would you?

Could you eat your own foot? Would you? That's the type of argument your posting here.
Yes they could sack people, but would they, no it would be the same as losing a foot. Highly disadvantageous to them.

Arguing semantics is really stupid at this point in time, as you have no evidence that they will do what you claim.

And I am saying they don't need to necessarily gut the company, but to use an analogy: they just need to make a few precision cuts in the right places to get what they want out of the game, even with having very little rights. The CEO is the easiest way to do it via Board of Directors, who can, and will, easily supersede the CEO, who will then do the Board's bidding.

I think your spot on here. Except with runescapes history, if the company was to falter, someone else would come in and offer to buy runescape for cheap.

I agree with pretty much everything you have said here.

I believe I asked the question in a simple yes/no fashion. It's not a particularly difficult one to answer, either.

If this wasn't foreign investment, then that would be true, but this is FOREIGN INVESTMENT, which works differently, again, Jagex has more legal rights in this instance, this Chinese company will only be treated as an Investor which has very little control within the company itself, again this entire deal will just change where the paychecks go to and come from.

If you want to run away from the discussion at hand and ask completely irrelevant questions, go make your own thread.

Your proposing that the company CAN do stuff without providing WHY they would do that stuff. You then provide no logical reasoning to their motives for doing such actions to the point where you have ignored that it would not be in their best interests to carry out what you say they CAN do.

So your argument is pointless. Yes they probably can fire people, but its not in their best interest and there's no evidence to support anything other than them being a financial backer to the game.
