LONDON, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Carlyle (CG.O) is weighing options for its UK video games maker Jagex, a business which could be valued as high as 1 billion pounds ($1.25 billion), two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. The sources cautioned a deal is not certain and subject to market conditions, asking not to be identified because the matter is confidential. Jagex, Morgan Stanley and Aream did not immediately return requests for comment. Carlyle, which has $376 billion under management, bought Jagex from the U.S. holding firm Macarthur Fortune Holding in January 2021 for a reported $530 million. It could fetch up to 15x EBITDA, or between 900 million pounds and 1 billion pounds, in the event of a sale, they added.

☆ In MMOs Like Old School RuneScape Scammers Use ChatGPT to Fuel Bots

But the bots using ChatGPT began to rapidly improve, and SirPugger realized the automated players would soon become almost indistinguishable from human players. In some cases, these AI-powered bots seemed to commiserate with real players, even complaining about the overabundance of bots. At the same time, bot scripts could eventually enhance rather than detract from the social aspects of online games. Online shooters like "PUBG" and "Fortnite" already populate their multiplayer lobbies with AI bots, but the social emphasis of MMOs means that they are uniquely well positioned to reap the prospective benefits of chatbot integration. Worlds would appear to become more populous, and though "real" players might still be cheated out of leaderboard slots, they wouldn't necessarily know it.
