We will plan to price it accordingly with other similar games on Steam after doing more research," the developer concludes. Considering Ironmace doesn't yet know how much Dark and Darker's full launch Dark And Darker Gold will retail for when it eventually releases, we could be in for a cheap or considerably expensive launch.

Finally, the developer has shot down a theory that the employee who put up a recent GoFundMe had been sacked. It had been noted that one former developer at Ironmace had been stripped of their roles in the developer Discord. This person, who goes by the Discord moniker "Luci," previously set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for a copyright dispute, but the campaign was deleted very swiftly, with Ironmace stating that it was "prematurely" revealed by an employee.

Dark and Darker players speculated that this Luci had had their responsibilities revoked in the Discord, and perhaps even their responsibilities in the wider game removed entirely. There's a lot of speculation here right now, but it does shoot down one common theory that the Ironmace developer who initiated the GoFundMe campaign was the victim of a hack.

It's been an extremely volatile time for Ironmace of late, even facing a police raid of their offices over claims of stolen code (which the developer said there was nothing to worry about). The developer is desperately trying to bring things back under control, and you've got to imagine these direct messages to the Dark and Darker community Dark And Darker Gold for sale are the first stage in that process.
