This of course is a response to Nexon's claims that Ironmace made a one-for-one recreation of a game the developers were working on a prototype of while working at Nexon. Now their lawyers are asking Valve to bring the game back to Steam.Īccording to Games Radar, Dark and Darker developer Ironmace says "Nexon's claims relate to a game that Nexon never made and which does not exist". You can imagine the issues that would arise with that. Absolute legends.Having been removed from Steam due to legal issues with Nexon, Dark and Darker delivered its latest playtest via torrent.

I cannot believe that they made this deadline despite all of the legal issues surrounding the studio. "This is just the best fucking thing in the world. "This is the most dedication I have ever seen from a studio," kaleoh wrote in the Playtest 5 Megathread.

But the good news is that by all reports it works, and instead of being irritated by the extra work involved, fans are throwing kudos to Ironmace for powering through it. It's definitely more of a hassle than a simple Steam install, and the download speeds are a little slow right now because of the relatively small number of people seeding the torrent. (The studio had originally said that announcements would also be made on its Discord server, but "due to Discord's policy of not allowing links to torrents," the Twitter account will be it.) Ironmace also said that all future announcements regarding this playtest will be made on the official IronmaceGames Twitter account. "All future patches will also be distributed in this manner, and you should only get the links from our official DIscord announcement channel." "Do not get the torrent from any other sources, as we cannot guarantee the integrity of any other links!" Ironmace said in an all-caps warning. You also need to be a little careful about what you download and where you download it from, because there's a lot of crapola floating around on there.
