This is part of the purchase agreement between the two parties that prevents the seller from producing any competing software for a specified amount of time. If part of the purchase agreement of Jagex is that the company remain UK based, then the purchaser has no say in the matter, they cannot relocate the company for however long is specified in the purchase agreement.

Fun fact: it wouldn't be competing. It would literally be duplicating Jagex products using Jagex products. Competing with yourself in context is contradictory.

Even if one of the stipulations states "You can not relocate Jagex to China", that does not stop them from branching out. With the type of money involved, I would not be surprised if these companies hired top tier lawyers to find loopholes in a given contract.

Well why not say that to begin with?

The sheer fact you're resorting to meme usage and petty insults to try and 1-up people tells me you know your argument has no substance to begin with. Therefore, I have not bothered to address it as it is impossible to address something that has nothing worthwhile to address.

Hi everyone,
What plans does the firm have for Jagex and our games?

In the event that these negotiations are successful we do not foresee there to be any changes in how we develop and operate the games, and we will remain a Cambridge and UK based developer.


Its also worth noting that the very first post states business as usual.

And for all we know it's a part of the deal that they have to teach new staff how to do what they've been doing. Even if that were part of the purchase agreement, you still can't force anyone to undertake the task. If the entire Jagex staff is told that they're being laid off in a month, and that during the month they will be required to teach their replacements how to use the systems/languages, I would imagine not a lot of the developers would stick around for the month. I imagine they would most likely use their time more wisely and seek out new employment.

And would you give up that last 30 days of wages knowing there was massively limited job opportunities in your area, if you had a mortgage to pay?

So few gold posts as of late, I can't help but wonder if it isn't already a skeleton crew at present. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Fun fact: That was an example of a common purchase agreement stipulation, and not actually related to the current situation with Jagex.

But generally when people purchase a vending machine, they plug it in, fill it up, and let it do what it does best. They don't start taking it apart, and tinkering with how it works.

And if Jagex told you they saw Ryan Gosling riding a pink unicorn with chartreuse polka-dots while playing "Through the Fire and Flames" on a flute, would you immediately believe them?

I don't think this deserves a response. It is pretty much you just explaining your here for post count.

You yourself? No, that would be foolish.

But, you forget that if this company can simply drop 300M on a game, they obviously got money somewhere to find people that CAN tinker with how it works to fit their objective.

So people would drop a tonne of money for the sake of taking it out of capable hands? Where is the reason?
