http://www.develop-online.net/news/39202/1-billion-Nexon-IPO-dated-for-December

Quote:
Online firm Nexon is expected to go public on December 6th in Japan in a move that could raise the company $1.2 billion, according to reports.
The IPO could give Nexon a market value of between $7.69 billion and $9 billion, Venturebeat has claimed.
This would make the South Korean company worth more than publishing giants Electronic Arts, currently valued at $7 billion.

Nexon, which publishes free-to-play games MapleStory and Dungeon Fighter, claimed in its IPO filing that it has eight games that have generated over $100 million in lifetime revenues.
It also said that three of those had garnered more than $300 million in revenue, whilst another had made more than $400 million. It also said that two games combined had lifetime revenues of over $1.5 billion.

In country, their portal holds Sudden Attack which is an insanely popular shooter, and the local Korean counter strike online, and around 10 MMORPGs, and half a dozen action RPGs.
They're also responsible for Kartrider.
as well as several other misc games.
