I don't know whether it was here, or another site, but I pointed out that exact point.
Blizzard spends a lot of their income on maintaining their service (Hardware, software, support, development), and while they make tons of bad choices that get negative feedback from their players (B.Net2.0 isn't well received by older players, because we can't use illegal accounts like Org@sm (mine ;p)), they still have a high approval rating.
They also take into account consumer opinion into what they add a lot of the time, and changes they make to the game, especially for rebalancing.

They just whore it all instead of investing large parts of it back into their company. Either that or they invest it into the wrong things (buying more game companies when they can't even run what they already have).
just like Apple and China

I honestly wish Nexon's main HQ was located in the US, so that there could be an investigation into some of their trade practices. Buying out as much stock as they do in smaller companies, taking them over (As they've done with NDoors), is the same things that Intel, Microsoft and all these other companies have been accused of.

Blizzard is a company of gamers with gamer concerns.
Nexon is a company of big wigs with business concerns.

Blizzards first concern is business. They hire gamers to be GM's now, because they've discovered through trial and error (On battle.net) that staff that have been gamers will get better approval.
Nexon just doesn't care about its players, which is how Blizzard was with tech support on Battle.net
