Nexon America Second Quarter Revenues Increase 38 Percent over 2010

I reaaally wish articles would stop saying Nexon is a "mictrotransaction-based business model". It isnt. $11 for 1 item is not a micro transaction, heck even $2 isnt a microtransaction.

It is a microtransaction model because you don't pay for a subscription.

So if everything was $1000+ it would still be a microtransaction model if it had no subscription...

It's funny because the two aren't at all related. At best, you can make the assumption that whoever came up with mfw severely lacked English grammatical skills. There are more than one factor that lead to an incident. For example:
[spoiler=mfw you think I don't know my grammar][/spoiler]

Using a phrase in a way that it forms an incomplete thought is certainly a grammatical issue.
Whoever came up with the acronym likely included a picture with the phrase and, thusly, isn't the object of my disdain.
Keep being adorably controversial though!

PS. "There is more than one..." Ironylulz.

A microtransaction is any sale of a virtual good for real world currency, regardless of price.
It's true that it has become a bit of a misnomer, but welcome to the English language.

Even throwing in your unrealistic assumption to make your argument sound like it works, yes. It's still microtransactional.

He's misunderstanding the term Microtransaction (a purchase that requires a small sum of money) with Virtual Good (which is often called a microtransaction).

I think thats a bit cheap for the later levels should be 100k 165-180 and 200k 180-190, the last ten you have to suffer because it would mean you would need goodly damage to level as fast as the insta level up (means they wont lose the NX they make from cubes and the likes).

FTFY.
