    Sounds like they're trying to get in on the PUBG money.

    I think they're publishing it with Bluehole/Kakao in China or something along those lines. This could be good money spent for AIR too.

    Oooh I didn't realize they were doing AIR, that makes a lot more sense. Good news for the game too.

    In return of how many % of shares? I wonder how long till Tencent gets both PUBG and Fortnite under their belt.

    "In addition, Kakao is hoping to publish Actozsoft's "Dragon Nest" in Q1 2018."

    Wait, what? Dragon Nest? In 2018? Really? Isn't this game almost a decade old?
    Are we talking about a sequel or something? Can someone please clarify?
