The CEO having the direct ability to post to the company website is wild on its own. Everywhere I have ever worked nothing got on the company website unless it went through the marketing people at a minimum. If it was from someone like the CEO it probably went through the legal team as well first.
Krafton is South Korean. How's the corporate culture in South Korea? Are they as ritual-suicide-for-going-home-before-the-boss-does as Japan?
Basically same problems as Japan. Low birth rate, unrealistic work life balance that's helped GDP but now both are facing demographic shock that'll destroy the economy in a generation.
Considering Moon Channel's video on South Korea (tldw; he explains around 24:40 in the video how strongly neoconfucianism became the state ideology and that still endures to this day - and how highly important hierarchy is), I would say that yes, an underling would NEVER dare go against someone above them.
More likely those in charge of moderation deliberately allowed him to shoot himself in the foot, given the kind of ass he is.
