honestly, biggest piece of shit move ever.
Ironmace was created to develop games that would escape the clutches of greedy corps, focusing on just making a fun, awesome game and here comes nexon stopping all over them.
They seem Jealous because they wouldn't have ever come out with anything half as good even if they had a million years to develop it lol
Seriously fuck Nexon. Why bother beating your competition with a better service when you can just take all of them to court? What a fucking greedy shit wolrd we live in where company's profits are more important than the people. My hate for Nexon grows stronger.
That's capitalism for you. Why compete with a better product when you could use your capital advantage to get rid of them?
So you're okay with people paying a team to make a product and then half of the team fucking off as soon as they have a working prototype to get investement from rivals?
How is this Nexon being greedy? They're obviousy mad that they payed a bunch of people to make something only for them to torpedoe the project and go make it for their rivals. They should absolutely sue.
Depends. Is it really competition, or is it stolen code, assets, etc.? Obviously most of this subreddit is on Ironmace's side, but they don't know anything. They just like the game and took a side based on that.
Well they probably fucked up, the doubts we had were about Korean laws, the case in US is clear and easy (unless IronMace fucking lied about everything OBVIOUSLY)
However, this is going to take a while to be solved regardless, sadly
Looking to back up their DMCA and to get an injunction against distribution probably. I don't see the case holding up in a US court if the facts are what I've seen, but it could put a stumbling block in their path.
Bring on the GoFundMe when you're ready, IronMace. You have my wallet and support.
What about the IM employee who was running stuff on the personal server after being told to shut it down? That’s the only thing I’m worried about, and the potential accusations that could come downstream from that.
