Quote:Cyber cafe owners plan to sue Nexon over excessive fees

A group of cyber cafe owners known as Korea's "Internet Cultural Content Corporation" intend to sue MapleStory maker Nexon, and have file a complaint over unfair corporate practives with the country's Fair Trade Commission.

Among their grievances, the group allege that Nexon's games continue to charge fees to cyber cafes even when those games are being played (users can play free-to-play titles for free at home, but cyber cafes must pay fees).

Nexon Korea says that problem has been resolved, and claims that it's immediately compensated cyber cafes who've experienced the issue, paying them back three times the original fee.

Lol, Naughty nexon trying to cheap out internet cafes.

Care to elaborate?
I just feel that 6.3 million sales over the span of a week, along with it being the fastests selling game of all time deserved more than a 'great'.
Selling 3.5 million copies in 24 fucking hours is pretty fucking incredible.
