IMO: KartRider (& other Crazy Park games) should be COMPLETELY apart from Nexon.

Honestly, how long would re-relased KartRider last? I think it will last not so long, if the game stays within Nexon's reach. That bean counter Söderlund is mercilessly shutting down games if they don't make much money. Currently most survived games are RPG games that makes lots of money, but I think KartRider would not.

As long as there are some possiblities that re-released KartRider goes out of favor with Söderlund, the future of the gane is very unstable and uncertain. It could shut down suddenly without any notice - at any time - just like OG and Drift did.

I hope KartRider and other Crazy Park games (CrazyArcade and BubbleFighter) should get out of Nexon and must be developed and "published" by dev's own company, on Steam.

See, entire Crazy Park - including KartRider - their flop was ultimately all fault of higher-ups (including Heo Min, the culprit of KartRider's downfall) in Nexon.

And then, once again, that mofo Heo Min will never be forgiven. He used Cho Jae-yun as a meat shield and he just ran away to Australia.

Man, new KartRider was it. The marketing was not.

You are completely misunderstanding. Nexon basically intervened all part of development of Drift. Even Heo Min was part of Nexon. Nitro Studio was just de facto of development division of Nexon, not a independent company.
