Dark and Darker has also been taken off Steam, effectively the biggest games library in the world, meaning they have lost a huge chunk of their audience and a ton of momentum in audience growth. The consequences of this mean the Dark and Darker release could be delayed or even canceled. IRONMACE is fighting these allegations, but the public is not privy to how they will fight the case. Thus, Nexon worked with South Korean authorities to bring on the cease-and-desist and DMCA takedown. This was first discovered when IRONMACE began their first Alpha playtest of their game Dark and Darker in February, and Nexon found that it looked nearly identical to a game that they had paused development on in late 2022. IRONMACE is being accused of stealing source code from the larger game development company, Nexon. Scheduled to be released in Q4 of 2023, Dark and Darker developing company, IRONMACE, was hit with a cease-and-desist letter as well as a DMCA takedown in late March. Our mission is to grab hold of this potential and create games true to our roots that put gamers first and even bridge cultural gaps.Scandal strikes one of the most anticipated game releases of 2023 in Dark and Darker.
We have some of the most dynamic and hardest working creators on the planet. People all around the globe appreciate the formidable creative potential of Korea when it focuses its energy on pushing boundaries. We want to show the world that Korea can build global gaming franchises that encompass rabid fans from both the East and West. We believe that by creating games with soul, and by respecting our users we can usher in a renaissance of awesome video games direct from Korea. We’re fighting to win back the hearts of gamers around the world. We are disappointed to see them doubling down on more and more exploitative practices, becoming more like casinos instead of bringing joy to gamers. We’ve seen first hand how corporate game companies sell their soul for the easy payday. We are experts who have worked on many of the biggest hits in Korea. We are a merry band of veteran game developers disillusioned by the exploitative and greedy practices we once helped create.
