Nexon, the South Korean developer of Maplestory 2, Mabogini, and other free-to-play MMO’s is worth a lot more than you thought. In fact, it’s supposedly worth around $9 billion (10 trillion won.) The founder of the company, NXC Corp, is putting it up for sale reports the Korea Economic Daily newspaper and revealed by Reuters. Nexon listings are on the Tokyo stock market.After this news went live, affiliated Nexon GT Co Ltd and Nat Games Co Ltd rose up to thirty percent. Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank are maintaining this sale. It is a result of NXC owner Kim Jung-ju putting up his and his wife’s controlling stake.

Yes, Lego Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are no longer for sale online
In a story that has, for some reason, managed to captivate the discussion of video games the past two days, yes, Lego: Lord of the Rings and Lego: the Hobbit are no longer listed for sale on digital marketplaces. These games were, obviously, licensed adaptations of movies — which used to be a very common thing in video games but is less so now. Even though questions sent to Warner Bros.

I said “for some reason,” above because not only is the explanation very simple, we’re not talking about LEGO Silent Hills or LEGO NCAA Football here. Steamcharts lists an average of 54.7 players of Hobbit for November (this is PC only, I know) and 57.0 for Rings in the same month, with peaks for both around 150. I used November because playership spiked in … [Read more...] about Yes, Lego Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are no longer for sale online
Leisure Suit Larry creator puts original source code for his games up for sale on eBay
Leisure Suit Larry creator and Sierra Online developer Al Lowe is selling original source codes to his game on eBay. Al Lowe has decided to put source codes for Leisure Suit Larry and Leisure Suit Larry 2 up for sale on eBay. Rare floppies of Dragon’s Keep and Bop-A-Bet for Apple II computers are also up for grabs. The game that inspired Leisure Suit Larry, Softporn, is also available. “I’m 72 years old, and none of my kids want this junk,” said Lowe said in an interview with Jason Lindsey, ex-Sierra developer who goes by MetalJesusRocks on YouTube (thanks, Ars Technica). Lowe plans to offer up more of his collection on the auction service such as more Leisure Suit Larry games, King’s Quest 3, Police Quest I, Black Cauldron, and others. He was quick to point out the floppies may no longer work, and those who buy the source codes do not own the “rights to commercially redistribute.” “Realize that, while you’ll have my data as of … [Read more...] about Leisure Suit Larry creator puts original source code for his games up for sale on eBay
