If you haven't played WoW, how could you tell it "must not" infringe upon the conditions set by the "party"? And yes, they have gods and factions. Many games developed and run by Chinese companies in China have gods and religions too. Neverwinter Online, owned and operated by PWE is an example.

Games in China can't have gods and religions? That's hilarious!!!!
That was a possible reason, a stab in the dark. If you want to be so childish to take every word of mine as law, go read the whole constitution of the Chinese republic. From your experience of playing WoW and Runescape you will be able to distinguish the two and use that knowledge to reason out why it might not be allowed in China.

This comment made you an official troll. Your posts regarding the Chinese Law that you made up simply doesn't exist and you can't even tell what it is. When I gave you examples, directly destroying all your nonsense, you began to call me names.

I am neutral to what will happen to the new Jagex and its games but I don't think your comments made you appear very civilized to most users.

Calling me a troll isn't name calling?

The regulations that govern media content in China is huge. So much so that it requires many different government branches to deal with it all. I am not an expert on the Chinese constitution, I have never claimed such. Not to mention that that point was only to highlight why it is unlikely that they will move Jagex to China.

Do you agree wit the rest of my points? Or do you only focus on one thing at a time? Because that's a great way to lose sight of the big picture.

You are so focused on this business transaction 'must' be a 'hedge' that YOU have lost sight of the bigger picture. How can you possibly say that someone else has...

Because that's what the information points to.

It doesn't point towards a cannibalisation of Jagex into mobile games. That could happen, but there's nothing pointing towards that.

Do you realize the more you write on you don't know the Chinese regulations but Jagex's games are unlikely to be allowed to run in China, the more you make everybody aware you are shooting your own feet. yes, both feet, not just one foot. The Chineses don't have problems with gods and religious, not just in games, but also not in movies, books, television programs, and everything you can think of, as long as they are fictitious.

As I mentioned, I don't know what direction the new Jagex will go on, all the concerns or optimism don't really matter until the new Bosses come on board, but they won't be there in 3 months. If you really want to know what I think about your other "points" then I can tell you I think the Asian markets is the meat that attracted the Chinese beast to Jagex. Runescape will be run in Asia, not just China. New games will be developed primary for the Asian markets too. Unlike what Zenimax did to the 600 employees in their British office, I think Jagex's western office stays. However, the new Jagex will overweigh their Asian exposure, as in the cases of all the other gaming studios with Asian parents, such as Perfect World, Nexon, NCSoft, Tencent etc.

That's only because you are assuming that I was stating the law rather than referencing to it.
Please do go back and make sure that this is the case.
You continue to take every word I say as law. I explained to you that the issue with gods/religions was only a potential example, a stab in the dark. Why would I do something like that? To show you, and onlookers that there is a lot of things to consider when taking about moving a game developer to China. It was not to argue nuances.
Have I explained this sufficiently so that you see your misinterpretation?

New Jagex? Jagex will remain the same, its the investors that will change. Yes they can change the staff after acquiring Jagex, but where is the information that suggests that they will do this?
The only information that we do have, is suggestive of a hedge during the Chinese economy slow down.

You do make some points about other game developers from China buying out foreign games. But that ignores the fact that this ISNT a game developer. Its an investment company.

That's what leads to a hands off approach.
