Nexon will end service for its 25-year-old online game Crazy Arcade on Aug. 13 despite posting record results last year. The move follows a profit-floor policy and portfolio review pushed by Patrick Soderlund, head of Nexon’s Japan unit, after he took office in February. Nexon has also ended Bubble Fighter, halted Project EL and shifted Dungeon & Fighter Mobile’s China operations to Tencent. Nexon says it has no additional plans to end other classic IP services for now.

Nexon said on April 23 it will end service for its casual online TPS “Bubble Fighter,” which it has operated for 17 years since its 2009 launch, on June 24. The company said it judged it difficult to provide a satisfactory service given the current user environment and operating conditions. In-game shop services and certain events ended immediately after the regular maintenance on the day.
