TL;DR Summary

Ironmace, the developer of the upcoming MMO Dark and Darker, has been accused by Nexon of stealing "thousands of files, including the source codes and builds" for an unreleased game and repackaging it as Dark and Darker. After a police raid and delisting from Steam, Ironmace has turned to fans for financial support through a GoFundMe campaign, which was prematurely launched by a passionate team member. Ironmace has since deleted the post and paused the campaign, but was seeking to raise $500,000 to support its efforts to continue paying its employees' salaries and to survive the legal battle with Nexon.
