Nexon Games CEO Park Yong-hyun says multi-genre development is a survival choice

Park Yong-hyun (박용현), CEO of Nexon Games, said developing games across multiple genres at the same time was not an intended strategy from the start but a practical choice shaped by the structure of South Korea\'s online game industry. He said post-launch live service ties up development staff, pushing companies to run several titles in parallel and transfer lessons between projects. He added his role focuses on direction and troubleshooting, while PDs and directors control game content.
