"Nexon claims to have created 'unique concepts, genre, plot, storyline, characters, and plans for the game' - almost none of which is subject to copyright protection," the letter to Valve said. 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".
