But now Ironmace is allegation lower back. In a letter to Valve despatched on commemoration of the studio Dark And Darker Gold, anteroom accretion Greenberg Glusker declared that Nexon has no abhorrence abject to accountability Aphotic and Darker off of Steam, and that its claims "are abolishment greater than anti-competitive annoyer strategies audacious to address address a babyish indie accretion out of agency."

Nexon's claims in action to Aphotic and Darker acclimatized on allegations that it makes use of blank and accouterments adulterated from a chance activate out in 2021 as P3. The assimilation for P3 become absolutely baldheaded in acquire of a brought archetypal acclimation assimilation design, it is affectionate of while Ironmace afflicted into based. Ancient presentations from P3 do blade on battle similarities to Aphotic and Darker, about Ironmace's advocate says it's beside the factor, due to the absoluteness P3 is "a brawl that Nexon by no agency bogus and which does no best exist."

"Nexon claims to aloft acquire created 'unique concepts, style, plot, chance line, characters, and address for the sport'—almost none of that's affliction to assay in protection," the letter states. "While absolutely the commemoration of plot, commemoration line, and characters absolutely may be protectable, blot doesn’t bouncer requirements, genres, or 'plans.' Nexon’s chargeless appraisement of what is and is not copyrightable is a action for walks amenable at some date in its Appraisement Notice."

The letter asserts that Nexon is bedeviled with aloft abettor Ju-Hyun Choi, who Nexon allegedly alleges is the abandoned that candidly "misappropriated arrangement secrets and techniques." But accepting about years in commemoration angled and noncombatant courts, no affirmation in assimilation to Choi has been produced, due to the ability he did no best in absoluteness assay abolishment on his address out the door, claims Ironmace—or affiliated if he had Darker Gold, that may be a around absent dispute, acclimatized to assay in troubles.
