There are many claims that NC has changed after watching Thrones and Liberty.

It's a bit of a risky idea, but I'd like to talk about the inside story of Thrones and Liberty. I'm not responsible for the accuracy, and there may be things that are not true, but I've learned from a number of trusted sources, so I'd like you to make your own judgments.

Rather than NC changing, we should talk about what kind of project the original TL was and the political relationship with Vice President Kim Taek-heon.

NC's hard billing policy and business direction start with Vice President Kim Taek-heon. Following them are Vice President Lee Sung-gu and COO Koo Hyun-beom.

Thrones and Liberty was a kind of anti-Kim Taek-heon project in-house.

Originally, it was a project that had been drifting for a long time under the name of Lineage Eternal, and it was undertaken by people who opposed Vice President Kim Taek-heon's direction.

However, NC is a top-down organization like an absolute monarchy, and it is a structure that cannot help but be influenced by Kim Taek-heon.

So how did you come up with the current "nice" business model... TL developers end up finding umbrellas that even Taekheon Kim and Taekjin Kim can't touch. It's a global publishing contract with Amazon.

For this reason, even if you don't like Kim Taek-jin or Kim Taek-heon very much, a structure that you can't wield at all because there is a publisher in it has been completed.

Of course, it wasn't that Kim Taek-heon didn't go in at all. Then, I was criticized during the beta test, and Amazon, the publisher, asked me why I touched it, so I eventually made it return to its original state.

What does this suggest?

NC's decision-making process has changed, so the current TL was not created, but it was possible because of Amazon.

In other words, I think it is very unreasonable to judge that even other games that serve without other publishers have changed.

Didn't Taekheon Kim quit his job?

Lee Seong-gu's implementation offender remains.

Vice President Lee Sung-koo sent NC's image to the abyss through the Trickster M incident and the Lineage W showcase, but his position is very subtle. Nevertheless, he is a relief pitcher who produced results of Lineage W. I don't think it would be much different from a person who inherits Kim Taek-heon's philosophy. For this reason, he was promoted from the general manager to the vice president despite such criticism.

Then, is it correct to judge that NC has changed while Vice President Lee Sung-gu's power is still strong?

Rather, shouldn't we criticize the NC doctor process that promoted Lee Sung-gu for having a problem..

So I don't agree with the argument that NCsoft has changed, and my personal position is that TL does not contribute financially and is an exceptional case.

In other words, from an investor's point of view, it is still too early to bet on NC's change.

This is what I know about TL, which may be different from the truth, and if there is any refutation, I will correct it. In conclusion, it is still unreasonable that NC has changed from an investor's point of view.
