Report: Nexon To File $1.3B IPO Next Month

It's far too soon to begin worrying about how much worse it can be when we've already licked the bottom repeatedly.

I guess you are right, I should try not to be so pessimistic; here's hoping this makes them a better company. My gut says it won't, but again, my gut is a pessimist.

Also, anyone buying enough stocks to have an actual voice won't be looking to dive in and out.
If the company continues to make an increased profit, so do the shareholders.
Real investment isn't about making a "quick buck". It's about long-term profits.

True, but do you think those investors will know how to treat an MMO community? I'm genuinely curious; I don't know. They might handle it badly, but they might handle it really well, depending on whether or not they see the people behind the computer. Maybe they will see WoW's success and push to adopt a few of their better methods, such as "better" authentication and arguably pay2play (I say arguably because, while I think it would be a good idea, some don't).
