- "On January 23rd, Fukong Interactive issued a regulatory statement to advise the Chinese financial market that it is planning a major reorganisation and is considering sale of assets, with the partial or full sale of Jagex as a potential option”
- Fukong lost $69.6m in the first half of 2018
- Compare this to Jagex’s massive year last year: £43.5m profit, up £14.7m over the previous year.
- "Whatever the outcome of Fukong’s restructure, it won’t change how you play RuneScape or Old School, and it doesn’t affect our plans as we continue to invest in growing Jagex, RuneScape and Old School, building on our record-breaking years, and ensuring we bring you all the new content and updates we have in the works, in addition to more quality of life improvements."
- Keep Calm and Keep Playing RuneScape
- We predicted this. Where does Jagex go in the future?
- Does this have anything to do with the delay of mobile? Probably not.
Listener Questions and Discussions
Question from Tyco
Dear RSbandb
February is here tomorrow and with that starts the most dangerous month here in the Nordic Lands. No, it's not wild mooses, bears or surströmming that's threatening our everyday lives but the influenza. As the snow slowly melts away in the southern parts, everyone knows that a cold bed with a hot fever awaits us all. And to make it even worse, it's not an enemy you can go against with a battleaxe and a shield. My questions today are (1) do you all consider yourselves to have a healthy and strong body, and (2) what are your strategies against the microscopic armies that raid and plunder your internal cells until everything is burned to the ground?
I'm writing this as I see a red sun rise in the horizon, knowing I will not be spared this year. May the midichlorians be with you Shane.
Tyco elf of the Nordic Lands
