Dark and Darker really gained traction during Steam Next Fest as it became the most-played demo during the event, but it may have caused Nexon to look into the similarities between it and P3. Given that Ironmace is based in South Korea, there's a prospective playerbase that may have been able to play the game through official means, but now will no longer be able to play it due to game rating regulations in the country that the developer is adhering to. With this in mind, the RPG may lose some fans in the transition into unofficial means. Torrenting is often considered illegal due to its association with pirating, and there are other issues for Dark and Darker fans to consider like potential malware from the torrenting software download. Dark and Darker fans will have to download torrenting software in order to download the latest version of the client, which Ironmace has provided a magnet link to in its community posts. RELATED: Dark and Darker DMCA Allegations Are ‘Baseless,’ Developer SaysĪccording to a Discord post about Dark and Darker from the developer, players will need to access the game through a torrent rather than an official client like Steam, which the developer has given instructions on how to do. As a result, Nexon has issued a DMCA and cease and desist to Ironmace regarding the work being done on Dark and Darker and its Steam status, but Ironmace seems undeterred by the legalities and plans to move forward through torrenting. Because there are developers working on Dark and Darker with experience at Nexon that could've been privy to P3, Nexon noticed "major gameplay, rules, and art" similarities between the two titles after an investigation.
Nexon is the developer behind titles like Maple Story and Godzilla Defense Force, but it currently has a game in the works dubbed P3 that shares a suspicious number of similarities with Dark and Darker. Nexon and Ironmace have been in a legal back-and-forth since March which has caused the Dark and Darker Steam woes for the latter, but its solution may be viable for some potential fans and a workaround to get the diehards back into the dungeon crawling right away. With Dark and Darker having already been delisted from Steam due to some controversy, developer Ironmace has asked fans to torrent the game to continue supporting it.
