Epic with lawsuits around the authors Dark and darker is almost complete. Makers of fantasy Escape from Tarkov “did not accuse copyright violations, but they would still have to pay compensation for another reason.
Remember that in 2021, Nexon Ironmace sued and the last accused of copyright and commercial secret violations. According to Gamesradar, various developers, including the general manager, previously worked in Nexon on the P3 project, whose mechanics and setting could migrate to dark and darker.
In 2023, the action nevertheless disappeared from steam as a result of a lawsuit and a year later returned as a free version with a few restrictions. Now, according to the South Korean edition of Chosunbiz, the dispute between the two parties was established. Ironmace removed the accusations of copyright violations, but at the same time forced to pay compensation for the disclosure of commercial secrets. Now the authors of Dark and Darker will have to pay 8.5 billion won (around $ 5.87 million).
Now dark and darker has 71% of positive reviews in steam.
