Social Gaming Roundup: Zynga Lawsuits, MapleStory, War Games, & More
Zynga Sues Vostu Over Copyright Infringement — Zynga has filed a lawsuit against Brazilian startup Vostu in California federal court over copyright infringement, reports TechCrunch. Vostu allegedly copied everything from exact game mechanics to “mistakes” (such as government buildings in CityVille not needing a road connection) in many of the social developer’s top games.
In response to the allegations, Vostu states that “Zynga has been accused of copying so many games that they’ve sadly lost the ability to recognize games like ours that are chock full of original content and have been independently created.”
