According to reports, they allegedly stole assets from Dark And Darker Gold the shelved game and went ahead and developed it as a new game at a new studio. Of course, the devs denied any such allegations. However, Ironmace has now taken a major hit, as Dark and Darker has been delisted from Steam.

To all our fans, we have recently been served a cease and desist letter and DMCA takedown by Nexon regarding Dark and Darker based on distorted claims, posted the devs to the games Discord server, as spotted by LongJonSiIver on Reddit. 

We are currently working with our legal team to remedy this issue in the best manner possible. Due to the sensitive legal nature of this issue we must be careful with our statements so as to not jeopardize our position. We ask for your understanding as we work to get the game back up as quickly as possible. 

While Dark and Darker can still be seen on SteamDB, it has been completely removed from Steam ndash searching for it will avail no results. Its safe to assume that the game wont make it back onto Steam until this issue is resolved. 

However, if the allegations are true, it seems unlikely that Ironmace will remain active, let alone be allowed to buy Dark And Darker Gold put the game back on Steam.ABSOLUTELY NO stolen assets or code were used to make our game, claimed Ironmace CEO Park Terence Seung-ha on the Discord server, when the allegations first surfaced.
