I don't want this deal to go through. If it does, I'm done.

I really love playing this game as it is very relaxing and enjoyable. However, I don't like the idea of my money supporting some random Chinese company. They are a mining company , not a game-developing company. For once, please listen to your community Jagex! A lot of us really don't want this to happen!

RuneScape has a special formula which gives it it's charm and makes it fun. You wouldn't put salt onto your stawberries when you've been pouring sugar over them for 15 years would you? Because although the salt may look suspicially like sugar, you're going to have a bad time.

Or must I say pour salt on OUR strawberries.

Conclusion: Don't mess with the recipe.

I want someone to pour some salt on my strawberries. ;) And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Oh God
PLEASE
don't do this! You're walking into a trap!
This company is doing what is common practice in China as of late: the economy is spiraling out of control (and CCP intervention is only making it worse) and to make up for lost (read: inflated) profits they're dumping absurd amounts of money into more stable foreign companies to have some sort of "buffer" even though ALREADY KNOW they will NEVER see a return on their investment: they're deflecting the damage to their company onto YOU! Don't be seduced by their false promises!

All companies in China are owned by the Communist Party and they are notorious for stealing intellectual property and personal information with impunity (shanzhai) and working with the Chinese means you play by their rules and I will have NONE of that! I will not play an online game even partially owned by a country the brutally oppresses its people (did I mention they censor massive swathes of the internet and people that say anything anti-party-line online have a strange habit of "disappearing"?)
If you really want to enter the Asian markets why don't you try Korea and/or Japan? Y'know, countries that actually obey international law and protect human rights? Not to mention the name of the game in China is corruption: if someone isn't getting paid under the table, nothing gets done*

**;DR If something sounds too good to be true it IS!

The voice of reason in the midst of politically correct trash.

China is buying foreign firms at a record rate
February 03 HONG KONG

Ready, set, shop! Chinese firms are opening their wallets for a record global shopping spree as they look to make up for slowing economic growth at home.
Just one month into 2016, Chinese companies have announced plans to buy 66 foreign companies worth $68 billion. That's equivalent to 60% of the value of all such deals last year, according to Dealogic.

The latest takeover came Wednesday: State-owned ChemChina offered $43 billion for Switzerland's Syngenta, a global supplier of pesticides and seeds. If approved by regulators, the purchase would be the largest overseas takeover ever by a Chinese corporation.

A broad range of Chinese companies has fueled the record start to the year. And the deal flow is expected to continue, experts say.
With growth in the U.S. and Europe strengthening, and China slowing down, foreign takeovers can help companies "cushion themselves against economic fluctuations," according to Boston Consulting Group.

Overseas purchases are also a way for Chinese firms to expand quickly globally. And with China's currency losing value, CEOs may want to buy before the yuan loses any more ground.


Cushion = hedge

As the yaun falls, the more buying power foreign currency has in relation to the domestic currency. Essentially the loss of the yaun is offset by the increase in foreign currency - hence the hedge.

I haven't personally seen companies buying other companies as opposed to investing in foreign currency, but I don't see why companies can't be bought for similar reasons.

Clever clever.

Thanks for the fix And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

What does the Yen have to do with all this ? You do realize that the Yen is the Japanese currency, right ?
