Online game revenue decreased by 15.8% to KRW 75,370 million (US$ 63,411 thousand) in 2021 from KRW 89,545 million in 2020. The decrease in online game revenue was mostly decreased revenues from Ragnarok Online in Thailand.
Mobile game revenue for 2021 was KRW 320,164 million (US$ 269,365 thousand), representing a 7.3% increase from KRW 298,324 million for 2020. This increase was mainly due to increased revenues from Ragnarok X: Next Generation which was launched in Southeast Asia on June 18, 2021 and Ragnarok Origin which was launched in Japan on June 28, 2021 and such increase was partially offset by decreased revenues from Ragnarok M: Eternal Love and Ragnarok Origin in Korea.

Cost of revenues was KRW 224,173 million (US$ 188,604 thousand) in 2021, representing a 6.2% decrease from KRW 239,045 million in 2020. The decrease in cost of revenues was mainly due to decreased commissions paid for service fees of royalty payments, mobile platforms and outsourcing fees for game services related to Ragnarok M: Eternal Love.
As a result of the foregoing factors, gross profit for 2021 was KRW 189,765 million (US$ 159,656 thousand), representing a 13.7% increase from KRW 166,908 million for 2020.
