Okay, I'll eat my words. But in my opinion, it's still a lackluster update though (nothing really excites me other than the changes to enhancements but even then I only have the tiniest bit of idea on how it works). Nice that they now put TBA instead of just a blank.

As usual, because they refuse to spend any money on management for us. Or on anything for that matter.

What's Owen Mahoney on? "Exceeded outlook?"

China showing decrease like that is kind of a big alarm.

Nexon is fighting an uphill battle. MOBA's are taking over right now as the most popular game type and nearly every major game publisher wants in on it. I don't think Nexon is publishing a MOBA atm (Is there Dota2 in Japan? If there is, Nexon would probably publish it.)

Opposite, nexon puts too much into the wrong type of management. They are so top heavy in almost every region ever made it's not a surprise they all struggle. Not only that but Korea then MICRO MANAGES all the goddamn decisions, from something as small as banning to patches. If you're going to hire a team to manage a region, let them frekin do it e_E
