And what if Nexon launches a 70% SP reset campaign? They already did a 30% SP reset sale which will be at most 4 weeks before BB. That is incredibly shady already. What's to stop them from going worse? What if that 'vast majority' that would be expected to quit barely buys NX? Would it be a worthwhile gamble from a business perspective if everyone is basically forced to buy SP?
This situation really doesn't settle me well.
Why does it look so much like insider trading? They know in advance SP resets may be worthless come BB if they give full resets. Giving a 'sale' to try to get as many virtual goods purchased right before the good will be considered worthless echoes the concerns of insider trading. Been a while since I briefed up on the relevant laws. Fiel says they can technically get away with it. I'm assuming he's not referring to the terms of service since a contract could be voided by a court.
