The gaming industry lost a major figure when Kim Jung-Ju, founder of Nexon, passed away last month - announced by the company on February 28. While Nexon has been responsible for many huge titles, it's perhaps best known for the 2003 sensation MapleStory. When MapleStory first came to North America in May 2005, its overseas popularity translated well, and it became one of the first Asian MMOs to truly break into the western market.
