Overview: In "Truly Social Games, LLC v. East Side Games Group Ltd.," the plaintiffs, Truly Social Games, LLC and Truly Social Games Vancouver, Inc., sued East Side Games Group Ltd., East Side Games Inc., Jason Bailey, Joshua Nilson, Andrew Bernard, Muhammed Bin Khalid, Beamable Inc., and Hashbang Inc. The case was heard by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

Application for Summary Judgment: The defendants sought summary judgment to dismiss claims related to the termination of the Archer Publishing Agreement. They argued that the agreement was never terminated and that the plaintiffs’ claims were baseless. The court found a genuine issue for trial regarding whether the Archer Publishing Agreement was terminated, denying the application for summary judgment.

Application for Security for Costs: The defendants requested security for costs, claiming the plaintiffs would be unable to pay if the action failed. The plaintiffs, Truly Social Games, LLC, based in Oregon, and the dissolved Truly Social Games Vancouver, Inc., lacked sufficient assets in British Columbia. The court dismissed the application, noting the defendants failed to demonstrate a prima facie case that the plaintiffs could not cover costs. The estimated costs ranged from $693,650.90 to $911,950.10, which the court found exorbitant.

Legal Arguments/Issues:

• Alleged breach of the Archer Publishing Agreement.
• Disputes over intellectual property and confidentiality.
• Financial incapacity to cover litigation costs.

Costs/Award: The court dismissed both the summary judgment and security for costs applications, awarding costs to the plaintiffs in the cause. Financial terms were not specified.
