Both men are accused of taking a vast quantity of private data with them and successfully recruited former colleagues to join them at Scopely, which Zynga claimed was a violation of their employment contracts. (Scopely has several Zynga alumni, including Roy Rosenthal, the company’s general counsel. Rosenthal also did not respond to Ars.)

Those documents also allegedly included “hundreds of detailed design specifications,” “unreleased game design documents,” and “financial-related information."

Funny how things suddenly change when you are on the other side. Just a few years ago, Pincus had rather clear ideas about innovating: "Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers".
