what the fu.ck

When we're calling the game "crap" as you put it, we're talking not talking about the entertainment value of the game; we're talking about how good of a job the company in charge of the game does. I don't think you've fully understood this, so I will highly recommend that you go back to and reread the comments in this thread without skimming over.

I have read the comments. What you're suggesting, it seems, is that we should be boycotting the company because it doesn't do a very good job of securing player's accounts plus other game issues. It's a completely fair point to say that the company SHOULD be doing more for its players (especially given how much money it's making) but that doesn't mean that it's necessarily a bad decision on the player's part to pay for it if they want to.

You're saying that you're not talking about the entertainment value of the game, but that is exactly the reason why somone would spend money on it. If there was no entertainment value, and only the problems you describe, I doubt that the person in the video would fork over $1,000 for the game. While I understand the criticisms levied at Nexon, that in themselves doesn't negate the fact that some people find the game fun enough to invest $1,000.00. To dismiss the entertainment value is to ignore the very reason why the money is actually spent in the first place. The counterfactual is, if the person buys no NX, while it might send a message to Nexon, also means a terrible gaming experience for the player who wants to play the game the way they like.

I'm sure many people boycott Nexon on principle because of their shoddy security and their arguably unethical cash shop schemes and that's fine. Some people, like me, hold back on spending NX and would spend more if I knew the game was more secure or if Nexon was less greedy. However, is it so hard to understand that maybe someone (with a spare $1,000) enjoys the game enough to spend $1,000 on it, despite the issues that exist with the game and Nexon?
