Nexon is cracking down on leaks, fining a subcontractor's employee 100 million won (around $72,249) for spilling secrets from last December’s MapleStory Next Showcase. The court ruling follows Nexon’s charges for violating trade secrets, underlining their commitment to keeping game announcements under wraps. Changseop Kim, MapleStory's South Korea director, pointed out that these showcases have evolved into major community events, making the leak especially disappointing for fans. Nexon warns that future leaks will face serious consequences as they work to protect the game’s integrity. Despite past issues, MapleStory remains popular in South Korea, showcasing its lasting charm.
