How on earth did you arrive at that conclusion?
You going to say the same thing about having a pair of permanent CS pants(or any perma CS clothing) making all other clothing obsolete and decreasing NExon's profiut? Of course not, people buy multiple items and it would be no different with pets.
Often giving away "free" stuff generates more income in the long run. Once new players realize how useful a pet is they will most likely buy one that they like the look of, generating more money for Nexon. All you need is an open mind and a bit of creative thinking.
1. Make the free perma pet really ugly.
2. The free pet has perma equips that are bound to that pet so you cant move them to another pet.
3. Make it so you cant scroll the perma pet equips.
4. relates to 2...If you buy another pet you need to buy equips and Waters.
I'm sure I could think up other reasons if I sat down for more than the 2 minutes it took to write this.
Having an ugly free perma pet with untradeable pet equips wont make any significant dent in Nexon's profit, people arent gonna have just one pet for their entire playing time.
EDIT Oh and in my other post I mean the free nerfed shops were permanent too.
