He's so far removed from the reality of day to day game operation of course the only thing he cares about is doing his job. For all you know he invests 80% back into the developers and assumes they're competent enough to do what needs to be done to make the games work.
To be clear, I've got nothing against the front-line employees (who I am sure are doing a fine job with what they've got) and I'm sure their situation in terms of relaying problems with management is not the most ideal. My point is it's management's responsibility for the game having persistent problems with hacks/glitches among other things. It doesn't seem like any significant progress was made in hiring professional and competent developers because the same problems have persisted for years. It's safe to speculate that this is the case due to the evidence of constant issues while it could also be the case where he just assumes the developers are doing a bang-up job and gives them 80% of the earnings like you say. Either way he's either ignorant, negligent, or a combination of both. Do you agree with this assessment? Or do you think he's actually doing a great job in one way or another (and I'm not talking about how good he is at generating revenue because we all know that's Nexon's prime focus; I'm talking about issues other than monetary ones)?
