Korean game firms reshape leadership as mobile growth formula fades
Major South Korean game companies reshuffled top management and key organisations in the first half of this year, moving in different ways but with similar aims.

Nexon and Neowiz put development and global capabilities forward, Krafton reshaped publishing leadership, and Kakao Games and Wemade moved amid governance changes.
