Dark and Darker fans are worried about the future of their beloved multiplayer dungeon crawler, wondering what could happen if Nexon successfully sues developer Ironmace. While its clear that neither side is going down without Dark And Darker Gold a fight, fans arent sure what will become of Dark and Darker if Ironmace loses the case.

This comes as the legal situation surrounding Dark and Darkers development bleeds into the United States, with Nexon suing Ironmace and two individual developers, continuing from action taken in South Korea.

From fears that fighting the case will drain the studios resources, to the prospect of the devs being legally barred from releasing Dark and Darker altogether, players are debating what would happen if Nexon wins - and its bad news for anyone who enjoyed the recent playtest.
