Casual games developer PopCap, maker of such titles as Peggle and Zuma, has lost in a lawsuit filed against them by fellow developer MumboJumbo. PopCap has been ordered to pay $4.6 million in damages to the company, who state that they entered a contract with Popcap in 2006 to distribute all of PopCap's games in North America. MumboJumbo presented internal e-mails from PopCap showing that the company purposefully misled the company into believing they would distribute the games, despite the intent to publish and distribute them internally.
A representative from PopCap said, "PopCap continues to believe that it did nothing wrong in this case, and will vigorously pursue its claims and defend itself through the appeals process."
