At this point, I don't think it matters whether they really meant to or not, they really messed up with their handling of Reboot. How they figured they could just put it up right before a holiday is beyond me, especially without prior testing. Honestly, they probably should've held off until the summer and at least had a round of Tespia. For some people, Reboot is already beyond repair, with the rampant botting, which is only made worse by their flip-flop bans, and it's only getting worse with time. It seems like, with the limited selection of items available in the cash shop, they're not even giving people who would want to spend money on Reboot much of a chance. I've seen the new CM talk about Nexon thinking about what they might be able to do with Surprise Style Boxes on Reboot, when there already exists a solution on KMS Reboot, they just have some of the outfits available for purchase in packages. Why don't we have the permanent NX clothes available each week on Reboot? I think we've seen that as a whole, people tend to be more willing to spend on permanent clothes than temporary, and I know for a fact that I've personally spent a whole lot more money on permanent clothes than I ever have on temporary items.
According to their earnings report, all branches of Nexon made a combined 19 billion yen net in Q3 2015, which at the exchange rate presented in their slides is like 155 million USD. Meanwhile, Activision Blizzard made 990 million GAAP (1040 million non-GAAP, I don't know what kind of accounting standards Nexon follows) net in the same quarter. However, they don't divide up their Activision vs Blizzard incomes, so comparing Nexon vs Blizzard might very well show Nexon doing better, but I still find it quite unlikely that Nexon as a whole makes more than the three companies combined.

Since this thread specifically has NexonNA in the title... There's no way your statement can be accurate.
The rampant hackers and botters, lack of management, and terrible reboot community has once again turned me off to the game. I've stopped playing and moved back to MS2.
