Neowiz hasn’t disclosed the number of Slugger players, but says it is just about on par with EA’s FIFA Online audience. Neowiz, which has 1,000 employees and about $240 million in revenue, invested $2 million for a stake in GamesCampus to bring the Korean game Slugger to North America. GamesCampus has two million users who play an average of about 25 million game sessions per year.
Since then, it has moved into micro-transaction games, where players buy small items one at a time rather than pay subscription fees upfront. GamesCampus was founded in 2006 and created a 3-D golf simulation game called Shot Online. EA also recently bought J2MSoft, a Korean online game firm. That game is operated, coincidentally, by Neowiz, which is also backing GamesCampus. After all, Electronic Arts isn’t asleep - it has already launched an online version of its FIFA soccer game in Asia.
