Dark and Darker has been removed from Steam after developer Ironmace received a cease and desist demand from Korean publisher Nexon.
Fans first noticed changes being made to the RPG’s Steam store page overnight, when assets like videos and screenshots were quietly removed. Then they realised that online co-op and PvP had stopped working, followed by the complete removal of all traces of the game. Now, if you attempt to load the game’s Steam store, it’ll take you to Steam’s front page.
“To all our fans, we have recently been served a cease and desist letter and DMCA takedown by Nexon regarding Dark and Darker based on distorted claims,” Ironmace explained via the community’s Discord server (thanks, Reddit).
