Well, it was promising for a little while, at least. Jokes on all of us supporters for trusting them.

Joke's on us for trusting them to do what?
Trusting them to not get sued :(
Is this the game that was in embroiled in controversy about stealing assets?
Yeah, it looks like Nexon was trying to crush their competition (there was a lead developer that left Nexon and went to work on Dark and Darker).
The police didn't find anything obvious when they investigated Nexon's allegations. And they had already had an audit conducted by an external group:
Our code was built from scratch. Most of our assets are purchased from the Unreal marketplace. All other assets and all game designs docs were created inhouse. This has already been audited by an outside agency. As far as we know you cannot copyright a game genre.

The lawsuit that Nexon filed in the U.S. was eventually dismissed, but Steam pulled the game from their store, so that damage was already done:

It looked like a first person diablo, but just turned out to be medieval tarkov. And to boot, it doesn't support linux 🤷
Edit: wait... "now free to play"? Wasn't it always free to play?
I'm waiting in the sequel: Dark and Darkerer
PvP? I thought it was PvE
PvPvE
Different teams are thrown in around a map, you then work with your team to try to survive and make it out to the end.
You don't have to engage other players on other teams, but chances are they'll engage you.
