I am not going to repeat myself as to why they would modify their acquisition. Not my fault if it is not an answer you can accept.
Because PRATT?
Yep, refuted before.

Your argument might hold more weight if you had actually read the 2015 financial reports, which aren't going to be submitted for another 3 days. ;)

IF it's not available, then why discuss it? It will be submitted on the 26th, at which time you can make a more accurate assessment of their financial situation.

I mean, I am just going off of what I know here.

Once you start having a negative cash flow, it becomes increasingly difficult to rebound from it. This is especially true when you begin to put it in context (a company facing losses in a failing industry).

Ironically enough, it's a lot like Monopoly (if you have ever played it, that is). "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

I mean, I am just going off of what I know here. A lot of information is available on the internet, unfortunately due to the language barrier, it isn't as easy to get the actual facts without something being lost in the translations. I've even seen contradictory statements on the same website between the english version and the chinese version (both available on the same website). I've done quite a bit of reading, researching and translating since the initial announcement, and I think most people are simply overreacting to the situation, fearmongering and doomsaying. Then again, this is the RuneScape community, and I wouldn't expect any less from a certain portion of them.

Only time will tell, and I'm fairly confident that the potential buyers want the best for the company, just as the rest of us do. There aren't that many companies out there that would buy up a vending machine just to destroy it. Although, that does happen occasionally in big business.

Well, let the guys continue to fight over stacks of money I more likely wanna highlight the human part reaching out to the East, reaching out to China.
I very much welcome a more close contact with the Chinese People, - Students, - Developers & - Story Tellers. I know for a long time the Chinese Culture contains many beautiful medieval stories that would fit greatly into RuneScape providing new rich content that matches already existing content.
I am pretty sure China has great Communities who would like to benefit the closer contact with us People in the West, given & taken that we leave the past at rest and not always throw that mantra about bots because our own backyard grows enough of these, so lets not pointing to others to much.
In the interest of fighting abuse they also can support Jagex greatly with building a better stronghold.
I hope Jagex can figure out a route to let global Communities embrace each other and not have an East & West culture but a mutual interest in Developing RuneScape and save it for future generations. As someone else already said it before, ‘
we need more Dragons
* I was caught by that phrase and have to agree, I already see wonderful new content coming.

So what do we think, give it a go? If you ask me, … we already started.

I just go off of what I have been educated on and applications in the real world, and I am just saying: it doesn't look good. Could it be an overreaction? Sure, but given the context of the situation, I am not seeing anything positive here.

If there is one thing I learned about business mate, it's this: take everything a business says at face value. The people saying that **** are paid to put a positive spin on a situation (It's the sole purpose behind HR departments in a business).

It's actually the Modus Operandi in venture capitalism, so I wouldn't hold my breath quite yet. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

HR IS PR in business, mate.

Who do you think makes the scripts behind the post for Pips to put out? "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

HR is mostly internal actually. Its a marketing department that is PR.

A simple mistake, but they are vastly different in what they do*

Human resources deals with payrolls, unions, benefits, etc.

Marketing deals with spin.
