Court rejects Webzen injunction bid against \'Dragonsword\'; Steam release to proceed as planned

Hound13 said on Wednesday that the Seoul Central District Court rejected Webzen\'s request for a provisional injunction to block the release of \'Dragonsword: Awakening\'. The dispute arose after Webzen failed to pay a minimum guarantee under a publishing contract, after which Hound13 terminated the deal. The court found the termination valid and rejected claims of unauthorised use of translations. The game is set for release on Steam as planned.

Hound13 rejects Webzen \'Dragon Sword\' lawsuit, says contract terminated over unpaid MG

Hound13, the developer of the new game \'Dragon Sword\', rejected Webzen\'s request for an injunction to block it from self-publishing. Hound13 said Webzen failed to meet its obligation to pay a minimum guarantee under their publishing contract. It said it lawfully terminated the contract on Feb. 13 under the agreed procedures and has independent rights to service the game, including preparing a Steam release.

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.
