There's been quite a bit of talk coming out of
Nexon from the time of the GDC -- revealing
two games, more news on the venerable
MapleStory, and even
a developer initiative announced shortly before the conference. But if you were waiting for the other shoe to drop, there is one after a fashion, because the company
still has no plans to develop anything for the Mac or for consoles. Both
Vindictus and
Dragon Nest are apparently popular choices for players to request on consoles, but according to
Nexon America vice president
Min Kim, neither one is planned for development for the console platform.
Kim went on to explain that his company's base of operations in Korea meant that
Mac support was a distant afterthought at best -- the market for non-PC games in Korea is minimal. Of course, in both cases he said that the support is something they would like to expand to eventually, but for now
there's just not enough reason to expand. Which is sad news if you're one of the many users who prefer a fruit-based computer, especially with more and more games expanding to be playable on any platform.
