Pearl Research has released their Online Games Market in Korea study. Companies like Nexon, NHN and Neowiz have been performing very well, growing their revenue by over 50 percent in 2009.

FIFA Online 2 from EA was the top online title in July 2010, boosted by the World Cup. Hybrid subscription MMOs with micro-transactions are also expected to be experimented with in future and StarCraft II is expected to help the market to expand, with Pearl ultimately forecasting the region to reach $2 billion by next year.
