The final filing by Zynga brings a new issue into play, where Zynga is accusing EA of breach of contract and violation of California business codes in dealing with employees. Methenitis' take: "Part 3 (the Counterclaim) is the interesting one. Zynga is making some pretty serious claims about EA breaching a settlement agreement and trying to prevent Zynga from hiring EA employees and using 'baseless' litigation to try to push this agenda. While on the one hand it seems pretty amazing that a company like EA would pursue a course of action like that, it also seems pretty improbable that Zynga would come up with an idea like that out of thin air. The truth may very well lie somewhere in between, and I do wonder if EA will offer much more than a general denial in their answer to the counterclaim. Specific denials may shed more light on the other side of the story."
