DOWN WITH NEXON!
Greedy POS company making crappy p2w mobile cash grab trash games trying to cash in on Dark And Darker because its successful and similar to a failed/abandoned project they had considered making at one time. I HOPE NEXON GOES BANKRUPT, WIPED OFF THE VIDEOGAME MAKING WORLD.

what you're asking to do is worst than what nexon is doing. You're an hypocrite, nexon is trying to delist them because they have been stolen some IP which at least has SOME valid claim to it and you're tying to get people to bully nexon into backing down ... First trying to bully them isn't gonna work and second this is morally very wrong.

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.

I don't like Nexon as they did ruin and shut down my favorite game on Steam - Ghost in the Shell First Assault:

https://steamdb.info/app/369200/
https://steamcommunity.com/app/369200/

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.

Lols, I hope this game will be shut down for good if they stole from Nexon.

It would be better for them to replace assets with new ones than outright shut down, but if they do, that's equal to admitting they did indeed stole and this will ruin their reputation. Also if they have to replace their assets, it will either take a long time or the game will look much uglier than it does now.

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.

"You can't copyright a genre"

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

In all seriousness, this situation is very disappointing. Whether Iron Mace is innocent or Guilty, Dark and Darker was a fabulous game. There are so few good extraction games currently around. Tarkov is garbage and Marauders is incredibly irritating and unpolished. The best scenario is that another studio makes a game like Dark and Darker

Nexon can host a burro show.
