"So a brand new account going off the top of my head to profitability and able to afford to pay membership through bonds correct me if I'm wrong"

Stopped reading right there. You aren't even reading what I type.

NO MEMBERSHIP COSTS INVOLVED.

FREE TO PLAY GAMES with cash shops. That IS how games in China currently operate.

I know how they operate I said that like an hour ago >****; I've played on some of them even it's filled with bots and gold farmers just the way they love it.

Was just stating that the way the game currently is with strong stance against that practice and how it's currently structured would not be tempting for the everyday people of China.

Every online game has both bots and gold farmers. It isn't exclusive to any one game or company.

Anybody expecting that a Chinese company willing to pay the amount they've offered, will do so and change nothing, is only deluding themselves.

I'm thinking they might very well do a complete wipe. Eliminate ALL accounts and anybody wanting to start over (on their mobile ap maybe hahahaha!) would be invited to do so. And that, only if they don't decide to not only move HQ to China and lock the rest of the world out.

The investment by the Chinese company is no more than an effort to protect some of their money in light of the inevitable market burst there and the devaluation of their currency. It is unlikely that they have any interest in the gaming industry ( beyond investment) nor any intention to "take over" any management decisions. They are simply doing what many other Chinese corporations have done recently while they are still allowed to under their gov't rules.

Chinese corporations have bid on/purchased a variety of over-seas business, including a German bank, General Electric Appliances division and a cruise ship line - yet they have zero synergy with such industries and have shown zero attempts to move things back to their country. In fact, for the financial hedge to work, the investment needs to be overseas in non-local currency. They expect massive losses in corporate wealth in the near future and will continue to buy up over-seas interests at 50-200 % more than their value for as long as they can.

Japan went through a similar phase in the 1980's - same start and predictably , same end.

It is more likely that Jagex will be sold off as soon as it's "safe" to bring their money back to China.

Yes ! They are spending 300m on a game that they can't even run domestically in China without heavy modifications as it would violate Chinese law, so why not wiping the entire existing player base, which makes up for a good amount of Jagex market value, so to reduce profits to 0 and create an awesome return on investment of 0 ! Makes perfect sense !

Oh and what Marcusorion2 said, btw.

Keep telling yourself that the existing 368 MILLION gamers already IN China don't matter at all. Whatever floats your boat.

Lines of code are easier to remove than you might imagine and they could entirely wipe out the current player base and end up with massive profit (and if you think a company investing 300M is stupid, that's on you, most of us won't make that mistaken assumption).

But yeah, you go right on telling yourself whatever it is that lets you sleep at night.. while the rest of us watch it happen and you're the only one surprised by it. LMAO "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.
