Do you feel Nexon exploits it's playerbase?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploitation


So it is cruel/unjust to run a game and charge people to enjoy the game more?

In terms of marketing I'd use the term exploit in cases where the small-print on a contract was used to deceive the customer into agreeing with something they don't know about.

That's the problem with wikipedia isn't it? It's not some all encompassing omnipotent writing from the gods.
