  Dark and Darker’s developer hasn’t given up hope the game will eventually return to Darker Gold Steam. Ironmace’s lawyers asked Valve to reinstate Dark and Darker in April, and Park recently indicated that the company would keep trying. “We cannot ignore the largest PC storefront in the world,” the Ironmace executive wrote in an email to PC Gamer. Its removal from Steam is also the main reason Ironmace delayed Dark and Darker’s early access release until today.
  
  Ironmace’s legal predicament stems from Nexon’s accusation that Ironmace’s employees stole assets from a canceled game called P3 before leaving to make Dark and Darker. Ironmace denies using copyrighted material, with the Dark and Darker developer calling Nexon’s allegations baseless. The studio’s lawyers went so far as accusing Nexon of “anti-competitive bully tactics” and attempting to bankrupt Ironmace. Park reiterated his denials in the letter to PC Gamer, though it’s unlikely that Dark and Darker will return to Steam until the lawsuit is resolved.
  
  In the latest step in the developer’s ongoing legal fight over its medieval multiplayer game Dark and Darker, lawyers for Ironmace have sent a letter to Valve asking for the game to be allowed back on Steam. Late last month Dark and Darker was removed from Steam following a DMCA takedown notice issued by Korean publisher Nexon which claimed that the fantasy-themed battle royale title was using stolen assets.

  Although the game’s Escape from Tarkov-influenced action drew rave reviews from many players during alpha playtesting, developer Ironmace ran into legal issues when former publisher Nexon accused it of stealing assets from its canceled game P3. In a dramatic escalation of the dispute between the two companies, the Dark and Darker developer was raided by South Korean police in early March, with reports revealing that police confiscated materials from Ironmace as part of their investigation.
  
  As part of the latest round of legal wrangling over the future of Dark and Darker, GamesRadar is reporting that lawyers for Ironmace have sent a letter to Valve disputing Nexon’s DMCA takedown notice and asking for the game to be allowed back on Steam. Dark And Darker Gold for sale Echoing recent statements from the developer claiming that the Dark and Darker DMCA allegations are baseless, Ironmace lawyer Aaron Moss wrote in the letter to Valve that the notice was built on claims “that are entirely without merit and contains knowing and material misrepresentations that Dark and Darker infringed Nexon’s copyright interests.” The letter goes on to state that Nexon is engaged in “anti-competitive bully tactics” meant to put the Dark and Darker developer out of business.
