A GoFundMe Fundraiser was launched in order to help Darker and Darker’s developer Ironmace games fight off a lawsuit against Nexon. But it’s been deleted now. The Fundraiser was created in hopes of raising half a million dollars in order to pay for legal costs. The Darker and Darker fundraiser stayed up for an hour before it was quickly taken down.
Darker and Darker Lawsuit Is Real
The fundraiser stated, “Support the Ironmace team in light of the known ongoing legal circumstances,” the fundraiser begins. “All donations will be used as supplementary funding towards the known legal circumstances and also provide continued salary towards the development team.”
In that short time frame, the fundraiser managed to raise around 46000 USD of its 405,000 USD goal right before it went offline.
The Darker and Darker discord admin Luci stated in an open letter some words without consulting Ironmace, “We aren’t a big ass studio, and we don’t have an infinite supply of money like Nexon. The reality of the situation is that their end goal is to bleed us dry in court fees. Internally, we know this, they know this, the lawyers know this.”
But there was loads of commotion between moderators. One moderator named Mellie-Mellow urged fans not to donate to the fundraiser, while another, Graysun, intervened and confirmed that the Darker and Darker Fundraiser was real.
But it had only been set up without Ironmace’s approval. In light of the impending circumstances, it appears a passionate member of the team decided to take matters into their own hands.
“We have currently paused the campaign for now as it was prematurely announced,” Graysun explained. “We appreciate the enormous amount of support shown in such a little amount of time!
“We are very sorry for the confusion and will take the proper steps to resolve this within the next few hours. We will make another announcement on how the GoFundMe will be handled.”
So what will happen with Ironmace’s lawsuit against Nexon? What was all the ruckus with the Darker and Darker Fundraiser? Things seemed to be pretty out of order. We hope Ironmace gets back on track. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
