This means the game will probably get sold on Steam as well as other official stores. They were previously unable to due to the lawsuit.

    The title feels misleading, this isn’t the actual main lawsuit, the case is far from over. I doubt Steam will want to display the game again given that they are still in hot water legally

    Kira has been covering the situation from the start and he has a great video talking about this development

      Didn’t want to watch the video so used kagi’s ai summarizer:

      • Onepeg, a gaming YouTuber, tagged KieranTV in a tweet claiming that Nexon’s case against IM had been dismissed in both US and Korean courts, which was factually untrue.
      • When KieranTV questioned this, Onepeg doubled down and accused KieranTV of historically taking Nexon’s side without cause.
      • Reports from Korean media indicate that while the preliminary injunctions from both sides were dismissed, the judge noted it was likely Dark and Darker illegally stole from Nexon’s P3 game.
      • The case has not been fully dismissed and will continue to a full trial on the merits to determine the truth of Nexon’s claims.
      • Onepeg apologized for misrepresenting the facts but KieranTV remains skeptical of his motivations given his repeated doubling down.
      • KieranTV’s consistent position has been to want the truth determined fairly in court, not to take either side without cause.
      • Coverage of legal cases can be complicated as the truth may not come out clearly even if the right party wins or loses.
      • Fans of the game have previously harassed KieranTV for his neutral reporting on the case.
      • Onepeg should have fact checked before tagging KieranTV and making claims about the case’s outcome.
      • Both sides will continue arguing their cases as the full trial moves forward.
