Nexon owns the rights to the "property" that we the "players" consider ours. But we don't OWN any of it, as stated by Nexon in the terms of service. ""all content included therein (including without limitation graphics, artwork, music, choreography, characters, character IDs, Forum IDs, account IDs, Cash Items and/or other items acquired or created in the Service, including through the Cash Shop) are owned by Nexon America or its licensors," What we sign up for, by playing the game is the RIGHT to USE the PROPERTY of Nexon. This is why they have the right to revoke any rights we have to use their property in the form of banning players from the game, rollbacks, etc.
I really hate how Nexon owns something I worked on so hard. The only thing Nexon did was creating the world my characters exist. The economy, the characters, the meso, the items, every gaming experience... everything is player's work. Nexon can't even protect their servers/channels from being crashed
Legit or not, Nexon owning my all my hard work is complete BS.
Owl Wrote:Lets bring that to the car analogy from previously. But lets say, instead of YOUR car, it's your friends car. "Hey man, here's a car for you to use a long as you want" Woo! Free car! So you take this car, and put a ton of money into it, put in new upholstery, tint the windows, and add amazing stereo. It's a super awesome car now!
Well, then someone comes along, and since the car is say, of older design, it's easy to break in to. But your friend didn't know that when he LOANED it to you. The jerk that breaks in, steals your crap, pisses all over the interior, and breaks your windows. It's completely un-usable now unless you start all over to repair it.
What are you going to do now? Sue your friend because he didn't know it was an easy target to break into? Demand that your friend pay you all the money you put into the car because it was HIS car to start with?? I think not. I'm not a massive fan of Nexon by any means, but I doubt they were very aware that they had made a huge hole in their security. Either way, it's their game, we don't own a single pixal of it.
Our accounts are the cars, Nexon database is the garage. If someone's breaks into the garage, who's fault is it? We keep our car keys (login info) safe, but Nexon didn't take care of the garage (MTS exploit, database leaks...).
I really don't care if the car was mine or not, Nexon could at least admit it was THEIR fault.
