Angela Game says these accusations are false and result in monetary damages to the studio. The suit claims that Studio Wildcard “no material or substantial quantity of Myth of Empires software code, but attaches a document that, by way of a means, presents very small ‘names’ to make the basic operations of Myth of Empires so simple as it says. ” Angela Game is seeking jury trial in order to issue a warrant of non-liability for infringements of rights, thiefs and criminal rights. The studio is also seeking damages for lost sales, as well as lawyer and legal fees. The studio’s Wildcard and Snail Games haven’t replied yet.
