Cause of the lawsuit
According to the lawsuit, Nexon secretly changed the game’s drawing rate, making it impossible for players to receive valuable items like before. This has made many players feel cheated and unfair.
With the sudden decrease in prize draw rates, many players felt losses and asked Nexon company to compensate them. The total amount they spent on the lawsuit was 250 million won, accounting for about 10% of the approximately 2.5 billion won they spent to buy in-game items. This shows the seriousness of the incident and the players’ dissatisfaction with the Nexon company.
Nexon company’s reaction
Currently, Nexon company has not yet commented on this incident. However, according to information from the lawyers representing the company, they have received notice from the court and are handling and investigating the case. If necessary, the court will summon Nexon to clarify the issue and handle it according to the law.
