That's what JMS' thing does. And if the popular version gets it too, who's to say that they wouldn't make as much money? If anything, they'd probably make MORE money by giving the popular version better content just by the default of having more players who want to buy NX items. I suppose it is Nexon's business model to spread out their NX collection rather than concentrate it. Then that must mean that JMS makes them just enough money that they can't drop it. Still sad that we can't even get a single shred of awesome content. All we're doing (and have been doing) is following KMS updates with nothing that would pique an old player's interest beyond "I need this to make my main character stronger".
The problem is that the numbers have shown that not nearly as many people are buying NX in GMS as they are in JMS. How many people did they really bring back when they released nebulites, Jett, and the Masteria revamp? Masteria's revamp seems to have angered more people than it roped in.
Not only that, how many people actually bought NX items? Why would they? Duping might have been stopped, but even if it's forever, it doesn't change the irreparable damage it did to the game as a whole. They're never going to be able to hunt down all the glitched gear, and with glitched gear, you get people buying items from other players instead of buying NX for cubes.
Even if every duped item is sold for 50kNX, it doesn't remotely cash in as much as the 5,000+ cubes it took to make that item the first time. There's so many ill-gotten items in GMS that even if they brought in a million new players, it wouldn't matter, because they don't need to ever buy NX except for a Pet, and NX Clothes, if they even want that stuff. Not everyone does, and even if everyone did...still doesn't net nearly as much as if everyone was buying cubes for their gear, which they aren't, because they don't need to. GMS simply does not make as much money as other versions, and nothing can fix it at this point. Nothing.
So why would Nexon invest money into making a huge set of exclusive content for GMS, when they can do it for JMS, get tons of people back, AND get them actually buying NX because there's no duped gear in JMS?
