User blog comment:MCGerouk/Anyone think Nexon is doing a good job?/@comment-4260367-20120722060244

For the most part yes. This last patch brought a lot of glitches but I'm guessing that the reason why Nexon went ahead and added it to the game anyway is because it's CA's 4th anniversary and it would have looked bad just as bad if they delayed the patch to the end of summer.

A lot of people don't realize this but Nexon is a great company (at least the North American version). No, I'm not saying that because of the money that Nexon makes or because Nexon pioneered Free to Play games. The best thing about Nexon is that they don't add a lot of similar games to their roster like nearly every other F2P company out there. If you go to the website of nearly any other F2P company you will see that they have a LOT of clones of thieir own games. Instead of taking a long time to fix their games they simply make another one that is almost exactly the same but has a few of these problems fixed. This is pretty stupid because this means that thier old games will either die off and they loose members (and all real money you spend on the game becomes worthless) or they keep supporting the game and have to patch and maintain the servers of two (usually several) nearly identical games. In other words I could spend $X on NX and buy a bunch of stuff and not have to worry about it but if I spend the same ammount on a F2P game made by practically any other company whatever I buy might end up being worthless in less than a year because the buisness model of the company that makes the game is to make their own games obsolete.

This is why I'm a little worried about Nexon's upcoming game Shadow Company: Mercenary War since a lot of the firing sounds, textures and models are exactly the same as in CA because Ndoors fails. I'm hoping that Nexon of NA takes an axe the game and gives CA the Unreal 3 engine and maybe a few of the features that would have been put in Shadow Company.
