Ironmace dodged the copyright bullet, but the court said the studio did infringe on Nexon's trade secrets.

    The secret was an extraction shooter using DnD Classes. It’s very unique and not derivative at all.

      This has got to be a South Korea specific thing right? I thought game concepts were generally fair game

        I think you’re right but Nintendo’s trying to change that in its fight against Pal World.

      I mean, didn’t matter if you build it on a codebase you yoinked

        They didn’t yoink the code base. That would be copyright infringement and the judge said they didn’t do that.

        If they stole the code that would be copyright infringement.
