An open letter to Nexon and MapleStory players

I'm not saying what Nexon's doing is moral, but you better believe if I ran Nexon I wouldn't be trying to make each of you happier. I would spend as little as possible to offer the game I'm offering, nothing more, nothing less.

You see, what really baffles my mind is whether or not NOT DOING A GODDAMNED THING is actually beneficial investment-wise.
How much would it cost to hire a GM and have him sit full-time on his ass, banning people publicly? How much, seriously?

I'm all with you about Nexon being true to their business selves. However, unless they are really really smart and controlling things that may seem impossible and turning the playerbase around at their mercy, what they have been doing does not make sense.
How MUCH does it cost to send the message across that IF YOU HACK OR ABUSE HACK OR EXPLOIT HACKERS/HACKING IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, YOU WILL FACE APPROPRIATE CONSEQUENCES?

If I were making multi-million dollars, I would surely buy a cheap and false sense of security for people to feel comfortable digging into their wallets and feeding me.
Now, they could be releasing the hacks from behind the scenes, make a mess out of everything by themselves, stimulating the population in one way or another, etc etc to ultimately make them buy more NX. THAT I can understand (though I can't quite wrap my minds around).
