I'm worried they are gonna shut NA down.
It ain't just Korea getting busted, other companies have been naughty, thankless little evil whale hunters as well.
This is an industry problem that unfortunately governments can't be aware of, unless they had inspectors go undercover when they're unexpected to visit the working conditions. That takes too much time and money, unfortunately. So they go by reports and complaints.
(Telltale Games, for example.)
Three words: Loot Box Legislation
No one knows how to make money anymore, and customers don't want to spend on low quality anymore, so all the business go broke.
(Also trade wars)
That said, I don't think NA operations will cease. It's market share is similar to Japan's and higher than EUs. If neither of those get cut, and we're seeing them reenter the EU space, I don't see it affecting NA further. I do see the reason for downsizing in NA as an attempt to reduce operating costs. Not just in payrolls, but also cost of rent of 2 separate offices.
Strategically, I see this as take a step back, look around and see what the situation is, reassess and prepare the next steps going forward.
I never understood FUD. I understand if someone goes around screaming "THE GAME IS GONNA DIE! EVERYONE FREAK OUT--" but if there are signs that the company is struggling, we should have the right to be worried, no?
At this time, I don't see Nexon struggling, while the cuts made and some declines in older games may be concerning, I think there will be stabilization following the recent changes. But I would keep an eye on its venture in Sweden, as that seems to be where they're headed going forward, in terms of being customers and fans, that's where we should be looking at.
As for the current games, I'm not expecting too many drastic changes at this point in time.
Welp, I hope this comes to the US.
One can hope, but with the current government...
