So not a win as such then.
Plus I rather suspect that creating a new game while employed by a game development concern is sailing pretty close to the wind.
- vaksel 18y agonot having to give up an established million dollar company with tons of paying customers is a win in my book. Even if he paid a million in penalties, he is still better off.
- mattmaroon 18y agoIt's a huge win. They could clone his app anyway. Zynga already has. My understanding of IP law as pertains to games is that unless they infringe on his trademarks (which is impossible anyway since app names are unique on Facebook) there's precious little he could have done about it. SGN effectively got nothing beyond whatever money was in the settlement there. It's about all Maestri could possibly hope for.
