Dark and Darker developer Ironmace may be the "punk hero of PC gaming" right now, but it's also making some power moves in the strait-laced chambers of the law. The studio has now fired back at Nexon with a full-throated defense of its game, saying that Nexon is just mad that some of its former employees have struck out on their own.
It's been a hell of a ride for Dark and Darker, which blew up on Steam earlier this year but then became embroiled in a legal beef with Nexon, which accused the studio of using stolen code and assets to make the game. A DMCA claim in March forced the game from Steam, so Ironmace went "old school" and distributed a promised April playtest build via torrent.
