Nexon to end Crazy Arcade service despite record results as profit-floor strategy reaches long-running games
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.

KRX delays pre-market launch to end-2027
Korea Exchange has pushed back the launch of its securities market pre-market to the end of 2027, reflecting brokerages\' burdens over IT development and staffing. The exchange will link the pre-market rollout to the development of a single-board system that carries over unfilled orders across sessions. It will press ahead with the after-market as scheduled, aiming for implementation on Sept. 14, 2026.
