One of gaming’s legal cold wars ended today. Social-game developer Zynga and major third-party publisher Electronic Arts settled their respective lawsuits regarding Zynga’s The Ville game, according to Insidesocialgames. Neither company can disclose the details of the settlement.
Electronic Art's stock has been in decline since the Battlefield 3 and The Sims 3 publisher warned investors of a tough upcoming quarter. Now EA is attempting to calm panicking stockholders.
The Ville is Zynga's latest social Facebook game allowing players to build virtual homes and gardens. It's also the company's answer to Electronic Arts' The Sims Social.
