Outside of the game itself, this counterclaim gives us some new insights into the feud between Ironmace and Nexon. For Dark And Darker Gold instance, Ironmace says that this dispute has been ongoing for two years, with Nexon even getting the police involved back in South Korea.

After years of litigation and multiple police raids to look for the supposedly misappropriated material, Nexon has found no evidence that any trade secrets were in fact misappropriated, says Ironmace. The devs also say that this dispute will be resolved in Korea, just as it bleeds over into the United States, where Nexon has launched its latest lawsuit.

We respectfully implore Valve not to give in to Nexonrsquos threats and to instead respect the creative ingenuity of a young gaming studio that has put out a product that is already loved by hundreds of thousands of fans, the statement concludes, eager to get Dark and Darker back on storefronts.

Dark and Darker was removed from Steam after asset stealing accusations, then its unauthorised GoFundMe page got taken down after raising $46,000, so the devs made it possible to torrent the alpha build of the game, which was... shut down due to copyright claims. 

If youve somehow gotten into the playtest after all of this, you may find that the servers arent working, since it is Dark And Darker Gold for sale now being DDoSed.
