Megapublisher Nexon is taking Ironmace to court over claims that the studio stole assets for use in the developer's increasingly popular Dark and Darker.
A number of developers at Ironmace used to work at Nexon. Earlier this year, Nexon alleged that stolen assets from an in-development project called P3 were being used in Dark and Darker. Ironmace CEO Terence Seung-ha Park responded by saying that "ABSOLUTELY NO stolen assets or code were used to make our game," but in the wake of the allegations, Dark and Darker was delisted from Steam, leaving Ironmace to distribute the game's latest playtest through torrents.
