This acquisition is going to be
HUGELY beneficial!
What this acquisition will do is
give the game back to the players.
Players will try to fear monger or just post their lack of knowledge mixed with whatever fears their mind creates. But the evidence just isn't there to support those claims
What the evidence
strongly
suggests is that the proposed takeover company will not play a part in the game at all. They will leave it
completely
to Jagex.
But why?!
Well! the Chinese economy seems to be slowing down after a huge manufacturing boom. This means that the yuan (Chinese currency) is expected to lose its value. So everything owned in yuan will lose value too.
The solution to not lose value when the yuan does is to buy things that are not governed by the value of the yuan. Such as an overseas company. There is some risk involved in this, so the buying company wants to make sure that they find a company that is stable. Due to the
time constraints
in buying a foreign company they have to make sure that the companies owner(s) will no doubt accept. So they offer them more than the company is worth. This means they will lose some value due to the overpriced offer, but save value over keeping their worth in yuan.
This is called hedging.
