This is an article that reports on the recent “claw hand” (🤏) incident that happened over an NCsoft union poster:

the before & after- you can see they put a star over it as a censor

it also goes into detail about the situation overall for female employee. you can get the gist from MTL, I’ll post it under a cut. just be aware like always sometimes sentence structure is confusing, the pronouns get mixed up, “being feminine” in one of the above quotes should say “feminist”, etc

[grasping-earth]

I'm catching up on the GW3 rumour-controversy and honestly I wonder how NCSoft are feeling now... kind of shooting yourself in the foot when you use the implication that you're intending a Guild Wars 3 as a way to convince shareholders you've definitely got a profitable future, and when that gets out a bunch of your existing players get so angry that they consider no longer playing the game that actually exists (and makes you money) because they think you've already abandoned it.

South Korea fines Google $31.8M in Mobile Gaming Antitrust Suit (4.24.23)

Word Count: 301

The South Korean Fair Trade commission announced it had fined Google 42.1 billion won ($31.88 million) for blocking the release of mobile games on a competing platform. This comes after reports from 2016 - 2018 show that Google would only show in-app ads for games that were exclusive to Google Play, cutting out games from Korea's own app-based marketplace OneStore. The KTC cites that OneStore's marketplace houses mostly other Korean games, and development houses like Netmarble, Nexon and NCsoft were losing revenue.

The KFTC previously fined Google more than 200 billion won ($151.2 million) in 2021 for blocking customers versions of the Android operating system. In the same year, South Korea also banned both Google and Apple from blocking third-party payments in favor of their own billing and payment systems, which would take a 30% cut from said transactions. Epic Games, the development house for Fortnite, had also joined in on moves in both Korea and the US towards antitrust laws against these big tech companies. The Coalition for App Fairness, a group co-founded by Epic Games, welcomed the move in a statement via Twitter.

"South Korea's new app store law is a significant development in the global fight to bring fairness to the digital economy," the group wrote. "We applaud South Korean lawmakers and President Moon Jae-In for setting an example to the rest of the world to hold app store gatekeepers accountable for their harmful and anti-competitive practices. "The Coalition for App Fairness hopes US and European lawmakers follow South Korea's lead and continue their important work to level the playing field for all app developers and users."

Similar moves have been made in the USA, as the last few months have seen Apple, Google and Meta all under fire from federal reports of "by inflating prices and reducing innovation."

I Tried Throne and Liberty

Frankly, this isn’t NCSoft’s first rodeo of the game. Throne and Liberty have been out in Korea since late 2023, so the game had a good amount of time to get feedback and tweak things before launching in North America. After putting in around 25 hours, leveling all the way to 50, and trying out dungeons, world bosses, and some PvP, I’m ready to share my first impressions. Does this one have the…

South Korea's gaming giant, #NCSOFT has joined forces with Vietnamese tech unicorn #VNG Corp. to establish a new joint venture called NCV Games.

This new company will launch NCSOFT's gaming titles in six key countries in the region.

Exclusive games will be released for foldable Galaxy Samsung, apparently, also wants to turn its smartphones into more gaming solutions, following the example of Apple. To do this, the Korean giant has enlisted the support of such giants as Epic Games and Krafton. [caption id="attachment_64748" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Samsung[/caption] Starting yesterday, Samsung Gaming Task Force teams began working in different countries. More precisely, such teams were formed in South Korea, Great Britain, China, and Ukraine. Samsung specialists will work together with developers and publishers from Epic Games, Krafton, NCSoft, Nexon, Smilegate, Kakao Games, and Pearl Abyss. Samsung wants to follow Apple's lead in turning its foldable smartphones into gaming consoles. Interestingly, this entire project is supposedly aimed exclusively at foldable smartphones. At least the Hankyung resource says that we are talking about developing new and optimizing existing games only for foldable smartphones Galaxy Z. Considering that foldable smartphones are still very far from the dominant generation in Samsung sales, this decision looks somewhat strange. Global shipments of foldable smartphones are expected to increase 37.7% next year to 25.2 million units, according to TrendForce. There is a high probability that deliveries will exceed 70 million in 2027. But this is the total sales of all brands. But the choice of companies for cooperation is as obvious as possible. Let us remember that Epic Games developed the super-popular Fortnite, and Krafton is responsible for PUBG. Let us remember that Apple, with its iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, also focused on games, announcing ports of full-fledged console and computer games. It is also worth remembering recent data that Samsung is preparing a gaming service exclusively for its devices. We are likely talking about the above project.

Zusammenfassung: Analysten vermuten, dass das kommende MMORPG Throne & Liberty von NCSoft bis zum dritten Quartal 2023 verschoben werden könnte, während offizielle Bestätigungen noch ausstehen. Der verspätete Start könnte auf die Konkurrenz mit Diablo 4 zurückzuführen sein. Throne & Liberty Veröffentlichung möglicherweise bis Q3 2023 verschoben Analysten erwarten reduzierte Gewinnschätzungen für 2023 NCSoft und Amazon Games haben die Verzögerung bisher nicht offiziell bestätigt Die Situation um Throne & Liberty - Verspätung oder doch pünktlich? Das kommende MMORPG Throne & Liberty von NCSoft könnte aufgrund von Konkurrenzdruck bis zum dritten Quartal 2023 verschoben werden, wie Analysten gegenüber Business Korea berichten. Obwohl das Unternehmen bereits zuvor andeutete, dass das Spiel in der ersten Hälfte des Jahres 2023 veröffentlicht werden soll, ist bisher keine offizielle Ankündigung erfolgt. Ebenso haben NCSoft und Amazon Games, der Publisher des Spiels, keine Angaben darüber gemacht, ob die Verzögerung tatsächlich aufgrund der Konkurrenz mit Diablo 4 erfolgte. Was sagen die Analysten? Der Analyst Jaemin Ahn von NH Investment & Securities erklärte im Gespräch mit Business Korea, dass die Verspätung des ursprünglich für Juni geplanten Spiels zu einer Verringerung der Gewinnschätzungen für 2023 führen würde. Dies könnte darauf hindeuten, dass NCSoft eine vorsichtigere Haltung gegenüber dem Veröffentlichungsdatum einnimmt, um sicherzustellen, dass das Spiel bei seiner Veröffentlichung den bestmöglichen Erfolg hat. Das schweigende Duell: Throne & Liberty gegen Diablo 4 Während es noch keine offiziellen Bestätigungen gibt, scheint es wahrscheinlich, dass die Verschiebung des Starts aufgrund der Konkurrenz durch Diablo 4 erfolgte. Diablo 4, ein weiteres heiß erwartetes Spiel aus dem Hause Blizzard Entertainment, gilt als einer der größten Konkurrenten von Throne & Liberty in der MMORPG-Branche. Da beide Spiele zahlreiche Fans und Anhänger weltweit haben, ist es verständlich, dass sowohl NCSoft als auch Amazon Games darauf bedacht sind, ihre jeweiligen Produkte im optimalen Zeitfenster zu veröffentlichen. Schlussfolgerung Zusammenfassend bleibt die Zukunft von Throne & Liberty vorerst ungewiss. Es bleibt abzuwarten, ob NCSoft und Amazon Games die Spekulationen der Analysten bestätigen oder ob sie weiterhin auf einen früheren Veröffentlichungstermin hinarbeiten werden. Für Fans bleibt zu hoffen, dass das Spiel trotz einer möglichen Verspätung den hohen Erwartungen gerecht wird und der Kampf mit Diablo 4 ein interessanter Wettbewerb wird.

Dear AION  community!

The official Trailer for the new "painter" class was released along with gameplay footage! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU7J-v90AFY

[ashlaran]

Ok, NCSoft really pulled a weird one today.

Let me explain: I do run Shugo Console to improve my ping. A lot of people from Europe, South America, and other countries run ping improvers because we all know the ping on Aion servers is kinda meh. This morning they banned all 3rd party programs which kicks a lot of people in the butt. Some people really rely on ping improvers! I couldn't get my game loaded until I disabled SC. I get it, they try to ban bots/hackers but in the end they hurt us real players. Those bots/hackers know a way around it but I don't and I don't want to.

They also said they will do an improved test thing on Siel's East for siege. They nerfed forts about a month ago and it's near to impossible to kill commanders unless you have numbers like in Korea. Which, obviously, is not the case. So, today's siege was even worse. The took the fort faster than before. I mean, I dunno how hard it is to program something like that but it's probably just a string. Like, was that a new intern? Really not happy about how they do stuff atm and I know a lot of people are pissed.

Not sure where this is going but I am super sad at the moment. It's like a huge slap in the face.

NCSoft edition, South Korea, 2020

Un petit garçon meurt d’envie de courir aussi vite que son grand frère. Alors il sort pour s’entraîner. Mais il n'y arrive pas. Il tombe. Déprimé, puis en colère, il court de toutes ses forces. Comme par magie, voilà qu’il devient le vent. Il est exalté, et très fier de lui. Mais le vent est-il visible? A-t-il des amis, de la famille? Le petit garçon a tout perdu de ce qui faisait son monde auparavant, tout cela pour pouvoir aller vite et loin. Maintenant, il commence à vouloir se tout retrouver comme c'était avant. C’est une histoire sur ce qui compte et que nous avons souvent déjà , mais que nous ne savons pas «aprécier», à cause de trop de désir et de convoitise.

Why are they written so small? There are many interesting infos I want to learn like the monster and item codexes but they mostly are written too small and in coloured fonts that makes it even harder to see! I have to take a snapshot and enlarge them to be able to read them. Second annoying thing is the small texts. It is very difficult to manoeuvre or even control the direction with the dpad so I either tap or force to teleport in maps. The game is really awesome but there are number of issues that need fixing.

But, with games such as Kakao Game Corps’ ODIN: Valhalla Rising climbing up the charts and new games such as Krafton Inc.’s PUBG: New State set to be released this year, NCSoft must figure out a way to maintain their dominance on the market, and perhaps the release of Lineage W is the way to do that. The release of Lineage W is also being viewed by many as being a strategic release to maintain the stronghold that NCSoft has on the market with the success of games like Lineage M. Lineage W is reported to be the company’s first game with the overseas users as primary targets,” said an industry official. “NCSoft previously launched their games first in Korea and later in overseas markets. The website is available in multiple languages, however, including Korean, Japanese, English, and Traditional Chinese, suggesting that the game might be released outside of Korea as well, once it is eventually out in the market. Unfortunately, there isn’t much gameplay detail available on the game’s official website, only a few cinematic trailers to give fans a taste of what is to come, in terms of setting and plot. This massive level of popularity means that there is a group of dedicated fans coveting as many details about the new game as possible.

LINEAGE W US SERIES

This suggests that the company has something planned for mobile users, and one can probably expect some tweaks to the gameplay to suit mobile users better than the previous games did.Īs mentioned, the Lineage series is one of the highest grossing mobile video game series of all time, with Lineage M, a mobile version of the original 1998 Lineage, grossing over $3.5 Billion in its lifetime.

LINEAGE W US PC

One major piece of information revealed about the game is that unlike the previous games in the series - Lineage and Lineage II - Lineage W will be released simultaneously for both mobile and PC users. Although details about the release of Lineage W have been kept under wraps, there are a few key details that have been released by the company so far, which will help us get a glimpse into what the latest iteration of the legendary series holds, and when we can expect to get our hands on it. NCSoft, the South Korean developer of the Lineage series and the Guild War games, has been busy this year, announcing the release of Aion 2 next year, in 2022, and also the release of Lineage W, the newest edition of the popular MMORPG series Lineage, which also happens to be one of the highest grossing mobile game franchises ever.
