Ashes of Creation

Steven Sharif, creator of the MMORPG Ashes of Creation, has secured a temporary restraining order against Intrepid Studios' board of directors. He filed a lawsuit accusing the board, led by Rob Dawson, of breaches of fiduciary duty and attempts to unlawfully seize company assets, including the game's intellectual property. The San Diego court granted the order to prevent access to trade secrets amid the company's recent shutdown and mass layoffs.
