Tuulik added that he also received “baseless legal threats” from his former employer, with whom Mula allegedly collaborates to confront Summer Eternal and Dark Math Games (the third studio of ZA/UM immigrants).
Judging by the photographs of letters published by Tuulik, CoGrammar accuses him of “violation of contract, confidentiality and copyright”and ZA/UM — v “serious breaches of legal obligations to the company”.
The PC Gamer journalist also claims that he received a letter from Mula from the Dark Math Games email address, in which the businessman signed himself as a co-founder of the studio. The team is currently working on a detective RPG – XXX Nightshift.
What exactly happened between all the listed participants in the process remains a mystery, but the level of complexity of the conflict is reminiscent of the scandal that split ZA/UM in 2021.
