LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Evil Genius Games today sued Netflix for wrongfully terminating Evil Genius' contract to create a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) for the widely anticipated Rebel Moon film franchise by Zack Snyder. - Two weeks later, Netflix notified Evil Genius that all of its work on the project "belongs solely and exclusively to Netflix,'' the lawsuit states, with Netflix refusing to honor its agreement with Evil Genius to allow the release of the game and compensate the company for its work.
