    Nexon and Netmarble fined for loot box practices

    Nexon Korea was fined $888,000 USD for deceptive practices in Sudden Attack. Issue was also found with Counter Strike Online 2.

    Personally, I believed that Nexon Korea changed their home office from Korea to Japan to avoid things like this, but I guess they couldn't outrun the law :saughting:

    They'll just employ the same strats as Apple. Who cares about being fined for shitty business practices when you can just throw money around like it's nbd
