Nexon to Release Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results

RED WEDDINGGGG

Why? So they can shut the game down faster?

Wouldn't Nexon have to actually be losing money; enough of it so that it costs more to run the game than they are making? We can all agree Nexon's overall profits are declining and MapleStory's player base is also declining, but let's not jump to the conclusion that the game will be closed within the next few months. I mean, look at how long they've kept other games not showing a profit around before closing them. MapleStory has been their flagship game since the company's inception. It's a huge exaggeration to suggest that they will shut it down without doing everything possible to make a profit from it.

I'd be interested to see an estimation, a guestimate, something in the ballpark of what it costs to actually run MapleStory (even just the servers and basic upkeep, assuming they just let it hang around with minimal management and development) compared to their profits from it. I'd imagine they are still doing pretty well.
