Decided to get back into the game and said why not try out the marvel machine so I purchased 10$ of karma coin went to put in the code and only got 9200nx out of it. I'm sure there is a post somewhere saying they tax it now but I literally had no idea and was annoyed as I was hoping to get 2 spins for the 10$ I put into the game. Not really angry as it was only 10$ just disappointed. Glad I only purchased 10$ lmao as this will be the last purchase ever made. Flames welcomed.

    There isn't really a tax on karma koin, however karma koin prices are pegged to USD and do reflect their value in other currencies. If you purchased the card in one of the currencies that is worth less than a USD dollar, that amount is reflected in the sale.

    If you purchased the card with USD, you might want to check with the store that sold you the card and/or code, as they may have short-changed you.

    TL;DR: It's not Nexon short-changing you, it's your state demanding its share of your $10.
