Nexon was like, WE AIN'T GONNA CO-PUBLISH, WE TAKE ALL MAN.
CJ (the developers): No, this is out biggest game, we are NOT gonna give it away.
Netmarble (Sudden Attack's Publishers): Just turn it in.
Nexon and CJ kept going back and forth.
Nexon then made a event called Move Quickly, it was to make screenshots of your items and equips and they will add it into their database.
CJ then disabled the screenshot feature.
Nexon then made their 3rd party screenshot program for Sudden Attack (but I thought Nexon was against 3rd party programs)
CJ then patched it. But everytime they patched it, they keep on developing a new version.
CJ decided that they will co-publish the game.
Nexon then agreed, Nexon Korea will release their version of the game on July 17th or something/
