If ironmace didnt do anything wrong the game is gonna come out without too many problems, if they did something wrong they are gonna have to give up the project, simple as that.

But this is standard practice for a lot of greedy publishers - milk a game, ignore the issues, announce shut down with a teary message about how they had no idea how this happened and they are forced to shut the game down as their hands were tied and so forth...
But if in this case if the Dark & Darker developers stole assets that were intellectual property of Nexon, then they've dug their own grave. If they can prove they weren't good for them, but I can only imagine they will have to rebuild all assets from scratch or use some cheap store assets just to get back on track, or they may never recover and if it was their fault, then I can't even feel sorry for them.
Nexon had a police raid staged on Dark and Darker's studio, and the police found no evidence of stolen files. The assets used in Dark and Darker are all Unreal Engine assets, things you can get on the UE library, which a majority of said assets are just placeholders anyways, which would be replaced before the game is officially released.
Nexon is just a cry baby ♥♥♥♥♥, wanting money but not putting in the effort to get it. So now they want to cry about another dev team doing better and faster work than their own dev team, to snuff out competition in order to secure a game idea for themselves. You can't copyright a genre, but you can make false claims and push court dates back constantly to run your opposition out of money to ensure they go bankrupt and have to quit their project.
Nexon needs to burn.
Some of us have principles. IF Iron Mace stole IP then they are in the wrong. Theft is theft. It doesn't matter if they stole from a Corporation or from your grandmother. It is still wrong.
True, but that is like saying you cannot copyright a superpower, which is technically true. There are 100 comic book characters with super strength or speed. But the difference is they worked for them. If you worked at Marvel and sat in meetings designing a character then quit and wrote a story with that character, even if you changed some details, you have stolen from them.
If you were some random person who came up with the same ideas, you would be fine, but you can't take the ideas created at your job.
I wish you were right I really do. But a few artist have gotten away with something like that
*thinks about Ken Penders and shudders*
