Ironmace does not back down in its legal fight against nexon and has found a way to avoid being banned from Steam. Following Nexon copyright claimthe studio goes to "Plan Z" and will release the fifth alpha test of Dark and Darker via torrent.
"Due to our current situation, we must be careful," said ironmace. “Rest assured that we are working around the clock to safeguard the sequel to Dark and Darker. Unfortunately, due to the complexities of our situation, especially on international lines, it is taking time to resolve the Steam situation. In order for us to keep our promise to our fans, we had to go old school this time.”
The studio warns fans not to download the torrent from any other source except the upcoming dungeon crawler's official Discord. They will also not be able to test in South Korea due to the country's gaming rating regulations.
Meanwhile, Nexon continues to file DMCA takedowns against the game, the most recent of which resulted in the removal of a tweet containing a magnet link and a link to the Discord post.
It was worth holding the line. Nobody endures like us.
Please check the channel #advertisements from the official Discord of @IronmaceGames for any questions about how to download the client.
You have to download it via torrent.
