The Rise and Fall of Counter-Strike Nexon
An analysis of Counter-Strike Nexon; a pay to win game successful in Asia. 10 years later, I am one of the few remaining players, answering the question: What went wrong? Originally based off CS1.6, Nexon developed Counter-Strike Online in 2008 with Valve's help. It was released for the West in 2014 on steam under the name Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies/CSN:Z (later renamed to Counter-Strike Nexon: Studio/CSN:S, and Counter-Strike Nexon/CSN) This video goes in-depth about the history of Nexon's game, internet cafe culture around the world, and the importance of game balance and new player accessibility.
