Let the free market figure it out
If you're a fan of Dark and Darker, you may have heard of some of the legal issues the developer is facing. Publisher Nexon has an upcoming game with the working title P3 and claims that Ironmace Games is using elements in their P3 game.
Nexon has issued a DMCA and a cease and desist to Ironmace Games. These legal issues have been going on for a couple of months, but Ironmace has been defiant. They say that they are committed to bringing a good product to their fans.
Following this legal conflict, Dark and Darker has been removed from Steam, cutting off access to the game for almost all of its players. In an effort to keep the project afloat, Ironmace Games is asking fans to torrent the game for all playtests.
Ironmace Games provides a torrent link on Reddit and its Discord channel. At this time, it's unclear exactly what the outcome of Dark and Darker will be. For the foreseeable future, Ironmace Games will have to operate through unconventional means like this.
On a happier note, Playtest 5 is available to play now (via torrents, of course). This alpha build adds a new Bard class. Dungeons are dangerous, but someone needs to sing stories of your victory. Dark and Darker doesn't have an official release date, but it is (sort of) available on PC.
What do you expect for the future of Ironmace and his game? Let us know in the comments below.
