Perusing one of the only webcomics I bother to stay on top of anymore, Fanboys, I re-encountered a series I used to enjoy watching after many a school day: Extra Credit. It's basically a series that talks about different elements, characteristics and trends in video games and the pros/cons of them. Well, this is the first episode I've watched in quite some time, and I'm pretty sure there are others that relate to Nexon in some way, but... just check this out (Nexon is NOT mentioned in the video, however):

I can't help but feel that twinge of remorse for Nexon because they continue to actively choose a game based solely on who has the most powerful equips for a few months or less. I'm not sure I should even clarify and discuss this point since I'm fairly certain most people here will understand and relate. While watching it, I was actually surprised MapleStory wasn't discussed, and not even in the comment section (though, perhaps that's a sign of something else >3>)
Yeah, I don't have much else to say. Just watch the video, and perhaps check out the rest of the series. It's highly educational, informative, and will give you a great amount of wisdom, or, at the very least, something to think about.
EDIT: Seanny posted another good episode of Extra Credits. If you enjoyed the Power Creep one, you'll probably enjoy this one (and others):
