Rex Ng, the chief executive of 6waves Lolapps, has come out today strongly denying allegations that his company violated a non-disclosure agreement in a lawsuit filed by Spry Fox’s related to its social game Triple Town on Facebook. Seattle-based Spry Fox filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against 6waves Lolapps because alleging that 6waves’ Yeti Town mobile game copied the gameplay and look of its Triple Town Facebook game. Spry Fox said in its lawsuit that it had a non-disclosure agreement with 6waves Lolapps.
"While it’s not included in the lawsuit, the authors suggest that our business development team shared information with our game development team about Spry Fox’s title," Ng said. "I want to be very clear: this accusation is unjustified and plainly not true. We have not broken the NDA signed between 6L and Spry Fox."
Ng claims that Triple Town was publicly available on the Amazon Kindle platform in October 2010 and that its game, Yeti Town, launched in December 2011. He claims the game was developed "in isolation from 6L by a company we acquired in January 2012- a month after the game had launched."
The company they acquired was Escalation and 6L was formed because of a merger between 6waves and Lolapps. Further, he claims that these two companies remain two distinct teams: publishing and development.
"Our business development team is focused on growing, and promoting the developer ecosystem, which includes more than 50 independent developers we have partnered with," Ng said. "Our business is based on trust, which we earn and maintain by keeping the highest level of confidentiality."
