Thank you for the information. Looks like this company was founded back in 2014.

Electronics Extreme Co., Ltd

Considering how GRAVITY recently opened a Taiwan branch despite how Gameflier is already publishing Ragnarok games in the Taiwan region, it would appear that GRAVITY is trying to replace Ragnarok publishers with newer ones for some reason. Having AsiaSoft replaced with another publisher and refusing to renew Kunlun Games' contract would be supporting this direction. Wonder what they're up to.

EDIT: Looks like the rumors may be true.

"On April 1, 2016, we entered into an agreement with Electronics Extreme Ltd., our licensee in Thailand, under which we granted Electronics Extreme Ltd. the right to license the distribution rights for Ragnarok Online in Thailand for a license fee of US$400,000 and a minimum royalty of US$600,000. This agreement remains in effect from April 1, 2016 and until the day before the second anniversary of the first commercial launch date, and shall be automatically renewed for one year unless terminated in writing by either party."
