Dark and Darker developer Ironmace has persuaded a US court docket to dismiss the lawsuit that caused the fable extraction game being eliminated from Steam. The lawsuit and Valve's choice to de-platform Dark and Darker came at a time while the PC game turned into seeing viral fulfillment. While Dark and Darker stays off of Steam, the dismissal of the lawsuit may want to open the door to the game's eventual return. But Ironmace's prison issues won't be over.
The development of Dark and Darker took affect from the work Ironmace's founders did for their previous corporation, Nexon. Ironmace has stated time and again that whilst Nexon's Project P3 is similar in a few ways to Dark and Darker, the new recreation is absolutely separate and no copyrighted material has been used in its development. Nexon didn't agree and filed a lawsuit alleging Dark and Darker did use illegally acquired materials. Ironmace has claimed this was a "bullying tactic" from Nexon meant to hurt Dark and Darker because it won popularity.

Whether Dark and Darker utilized copyrighted substances from Nexon's Project P3 will no longer be decided in a US courtroom, it appears. Nexon's case has now been dismissed, with the court agreeing with Ironmace that the USA was the wrong jurisdiction for the lawsuit. That doesn't suggest that the state of affairs has been remedied, however. Nexon keeps its legal efforts in opposition to Ironmace in South Korea, which the US court docket is of the same opinion is the right area for a decision to be made. Both Nexon and Ironmace are primarily based in South Korea.
