South Korea's stock market suffered a significant blow today, particularly affecting the video game sector with major companies like Nexon, Shift Up, and NC Soft experiencing sharp stock declines. This downturn follows the imposition of a 25% tariff on South Korean goods by the US, which increases costs for American imports. Despite its recent positive trajectory, the gaming market's future is uncertain, especially with potential economic recession fears possibly impacting consumer spending on luxury items, including video games heavily reliant on microtransactions.
Some of the largest South Korean video game companies have seen stocks decrease sharply, including Nexon, Shift Up, and NC Soft, following a wave of US tariffs.
Currently, the South Korean video game sector is facing significant losses just as it was showing promise with titles like Goddess of Victory: Nikke and Stellar Blade.
