Never let anyone tell you that 99 mining won’t get you everywhere in life. Jagex, makers of the MMO RuneScape and its many spinoffs, has announced that it is in the negotiation phase for a potential acquisition by a Chinese company by the name of Shandong Honda. You may be thinking that Shandong Honda is one of China’s many game publishers, but you would be wrong. The company is actually an iron ore mining operation.
“Jagex has entered into a non-exclusive, non-binding arrangement for a potential acquisition. The negotiations surrounding the acquisition are ongoing and it remains very much business as usual for the Company.”
Jagex’s head of community, also known as Mod Balance, posted a response that the news coverage today noting that the deal may still not materialize into anything.
Jagex is in early stage discussions with the firm in question, but we must stress that they may – or may not – materialise into anything. However, should they come to fruition, it would potentially allow us access to the Asian marketplace to a high level.
Players have been promised that their questions are being collected and answers will be given in due time.
