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 says it has no additional plans to end other classic IP services for now.
