MapleStory : Nexon Revenues Up 26%
Nexon America has announced that its revenues for Q2 2010 are up 26% over last year. In addition, MapleStory now boasts over seven million players. Nexon corporate minds link the growth in Nexon's North American player base as largely responsible for the increase. Other stats released by Nexon include over four million Combat Arms players and one million Mabinogi players.
"Our player base and revenues continue to expand, which tells us that gamers find that our free-to-play business model fits their play needs," said Daniel Kim, Nexon America's CEO. "MapleStory is celebrating its fifth year of service in North America and shows no sign of slowing down, while Combat Arms is growing into one of the market's most popular online FPS games. With the recent successful launch of Dungeon Fighter Online and the release of Vindictus on the horizon, 2010 looks to be a big year for Nexon in North America."
In these tough economic times, this is good news for the gaming industry as a whole.
