Ironmace says a court has dismissed its former publisher Nexon’s request for an injunction following the publisher’s claim that Dark and Darker has been written with stolen code from a game the team had been developing for Nexon.
In a statement to players on its Discord server, an Ironmace developer – known as SDF – reported that a court has dismissed Nexon’s injunction for “trade secret and copyright infringement”, “thus rejecting the claims and suspicions that Dark & Darker was developed by using Nexon’s trade secrets and infringing on its copyrights”.
The court also reportedly ruled that Dark and Darker’s service “should not be suspended based on Nexon’s claims and evidence alone”, paving a potential return to Steam for the game.
