User blog comment:SynthesisRTF/Combat Arms... man, what happened?/@comment-5093628-20140402041334

Combat Arms honestly isnt close to dead. The player base may not be as great or as high, but the amount of money they rake in from NX is just crazy. No way would Nexon shut down the game if they have no reason to; as the money keeps coming and they are making a profit, Nexon will not shut a game down. Economics meng ~ even if Nexon IS running a shortrun loss, keeping the game running is better investment than a shut down.

Another sign its still running strong, is the fact Nexon is STILL updating the game, new content, bug fixes etc. If Nexon knew the game was going to fail, they would just put tons of sales and milk as much money as possible before closing (ie. Dungeon Fighter).

As much as you hate "OP weapons", theres no getting around its existence. Its an incentive for players to spend and .. well its working alright. Thats not to say though, that it makes the game putrid and unplayable. If you really enjoyed CA, you can easily overlook its 'flaws'. Nexon has really put a lot of work recently to fix the game up (which makes me happy xD). I may not be a 'veteran player' like you (started 2010), but these 3+ years on CA was enjoyable. I continue to play the game as many others do because its fun. If I enjoy something, I will be willing to invest my time and (possibly) money for it. Hence I can safely say, even though I sometimes wonder what would happen if I had never spent that $250+ of NX (not as much as you, but mind you, still a lot of money in general), I found the $250 pumped into the game to support CA was worth the enjoyment I got out of it. That ISNT to say I DONT have fun playing with non-NX gear.

Either way, Im just voicing my opinion based on what you said. No matter what, its up to you to continue playing or not. Im still glad there are some articulate people like you out there even though your opinon contrasts mine. Some people just blab on and complain without presenting any shred of proof or support in their rants. Hope your 'rage' problems get resolved though.
