Ironmace, the developer behind the medieval looter Dark and Darker, can finally breathe easy. A court has dismissed the publisher Nexon’s claims of trade secret and copyright infringement, debunking the allegations that Dark and Darker was developed using stolen code from a game Ironmace had previously worked on for Nexon. In an exuberant statement on their Discord server, Ironmace developer SDF announced the court’s decision, dashing any suspicions of foul play and potentially paving the way for Dark and Darker’s return to Steam.
Nexon’s Claims Rejected
In a statement on the official Discord server, translated from Korean via Google Translate, SDF declared, “Nexon’s request for a preliminary injunction against Ironmace for trade secret and copyright infringement was dismissed.” The court ruled that Ironmace’s game did not infringe on Nexon’s copyrights or trade secrets, clearly stating that Dark and Darker was developed independently. Additionally, the court determined that the game’s service should not be suspended based solely on Nexon’s claims and evidence.
Court Challenges
Although the court ruled in favor of Ironmace, there were still some disappointing aspects to the decision. Nexon alleged unfair competition but failed to submit its own game, codenamed P3, as evidence. SDF expressed disappointment, stating, “The court’s decision regarding unfair competition came from a situation where Nexon did not even submit the P3 game itself as official evidence.” Nonetheless, the court’s provisional injunction procedure limited the evidence examination, and a comprehensive investigation and hearing will be necessary in the main lawsuit to reveal the truth behind Nexon’s claims.
The Future of Dark and Darker
Ironmace acknowledged the support of players worldwide and expressed gratitude for it. SDF concluded by emphasizing the importance of a thorough investigation of evidence in the main lawsuit, believing that it will unveil the innocence of Ironmace and expose the unfairness of Nexon’s claims. The developer reassured fans that they are committed to investing their best efforts in the continuous development of Dark and Darker, envisioning a game that can be served for more than ten years.
