After dueling near-simultaneous lawsuits were filed in late October over a dispute related to University Games’ acquisition of Forbidden Games (see “Dueling Lawsuits“), we reached out to both companies for comment on the suits that were filed against them.
“We have been working for several months with our attorneys and several witnesses to create a detailed and accurate complaint against Bob Moog and University Games,” Forbidden Games’ Glenn Drover told ICv2. “On Friday, October 27, we sent a copy of the lawsuit along with a demand letter to University Games. We gave them a week to respond to address the issues contained therein.”
“Their response was to cobble together a complaint which contains very broad allegations that we believe have no merit whatsoever. They rushed to file it just after midnight that Sunday night, presumably so that they could claim that they were suing us instead of the other way around.”
“We are eager to have our day in court to demonstrate which of our suits has merit, and which does not.”
From the other side, University Games president Bob Moog had something to say on both suits. “On our suit, …we are suing because of a breach of contract: the intellectual property that we acquired wasn’t transferred, and we explain it in the suit. And there were misrepresentations by Glenn Drover of what he was selling. As far as his suit, we deny all his claims, every single claim he’s making, and we don’t believe there’s any merit in it.”
