Looks like Nexon will soon have a stake in every online game...I wont be able to play anything.

They better not touch Baruson or gPotato. I'd totally quit Dragonica if Nexon lay its evil clutches on it.

Its like Nexon likes playing monopoly a lot.

And why wouldn't they? Business works better when you have a lot of income after all.

[weeeeee]

And why is THIS in "Maplestory Discussion"? Nexon is not Maplestory. People have this neat habit of pretending the only game they have is MS.

Real forums made by people with brains have a general discussion section for matters not related to the main subject of the forum. So yeah, continue crying about it. All I can say is that it doesn't belong in the intelligent discussion forum, because nexon brings out the retard in everyone, no matter the location.

Am I missing something?
Anyways, Nexon's just slowly buying out the competition, nothing of the new.
@Wee, if you don't like it, get out.

@Wee,

Had to do it, and I see no issue if Nexon has the profits to swallow smaller, yet still successful businesses.

Not sure what that does for me, because it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact this thread isn't about maplestory. WAY TO GO CHAMP YOU GET A GOLD STAR FOR EFFORT
