Webzen seeks injunction to bar Hound13 from self-publishing DragonSword
Webzen said on Tuesday it filed a lawsuit and applied for a provisional injunction against DragonSword developer Hound13 to bar it from self-publishing. Webzen said Hound13 has been preparing to launch on Steam unilaterally without prior agreement. Webzen said it urged normalisation of domestic game service as publisher, but Hound13 opted to prepare Steam service instead. Webzen said an unauthorised Steam service could cause confusion and lead to additional customer harm.

Webzen says Hound13\'s unilateral termination notice for \'DragonSword\' invalid
Webzen disputed claims by \'DragonSword\' developer Hound13 that their publishing agreement had been terminated. Webzen said the parties were in talks on measures to ensure smooth game service operations, including additional investment, when Hound13 suddenly notified immediate termination without prior corrective request. Webzen said the notice lacked substantive legal requirements and also failed to meet procedural requirements under the publishing contract and Hound13\'s articles of incorporation.

Dragonsword developer Hound13 notifies Webzen of publishing contract termination
Hound13, the developer of the open-world collectable action RPG Dragonsword, has notified publisher Webzen that it is terminating their publishing contract, citing Webzen’s failure to pay the remaining contract fees. Hound13 said Webzen refused to pay, citing worsening finances at Hound13, which the developer rejected. Services will continue for 3 months under the existing system, but updates will be disrupted. Hound13 is seeking a new publisher, global service partner and investors.
