This added incentive is a good way to get help to Japan even with Nexon profiting from the act; it's still better than nothing at all from the reluctant group. I'm sure some people who have been on the edge about whether or not to mass-buy cubes and gach will be more motivated to buy now. Take that motivation away and Japan gets nothing while Nexon still profits in the end, on way or another. But I'll be sure to nominate those who donate out of altruism for Saint.
The point is that anyone who mass-buys cubes or gach isn't helping anyone BUT Nexon. They're taking advantage of those people who may have been on the edge about donating. The GAME exception isn't even mentioned in this specific article which is pretty bad.

For one thing, nexon suggests people should donate before even mentioning that nx will give some profit to the relief fund. And how many truly successful charity drives can you think of that work without some sort of bonus for the person donating?
I can say with absolute certainty that every charity in existence that doesn't give the people donating something out of it will not make as much money as ones that do.
Keep preaching your moral high ground, but since you're probably not aware of it: This kind of acting superior isn't going to make people run out and donate money; you're more likely to just get people to say, oh , pineapple it, and do nothing.
I wasn't acting superior at all, it seems to me like you're just being overly-sensitive. I was just suggesting a better means of donating to make sure they actually get your money without any catches.
