(“TSG”). Leaf also promised a series of lucrative payments to TSG based on various earnings
targets that should have been easily achievable according to projections generated by Leaf. In
exchange, TSG offered Leaf the opportunity to acquire TSG as a subsidiary. TSG also
committed to develop the coding and artwork for the four online games that Leaf was to fund.
2. Instead of supporting the development pursuant to the terms of the parties’
agreement, Leaf refused to provide the necessary financial, marketing, management, and
analytical backing for the online games, leaving the games developed by TSG in a state of
disrepair and neglect, and in the process causing financial damage to TSG in the form of lost
royalties and payments that were tied to the games’ performance. After failing to uphold its end
of the bargain and intentionally harming the financial performance of the four games developed
by TSG, Leaf now seeks to improperly terminate the contract with TSG, steal for itself the code
base and artwork created by TSG, and excuse itself from any further obligations. On
information and belief, Leaf’s actions are part of a concerted and deliberate business strategy
that Leaf has executed multiple times in an effort to take advantage of the skills and expertise of
online game developers for Leaf’s benefit while at the same time refusing to pay developers
what they are owed and cutting the developers out of future earnings related to the games.
3. TSG files this lawsuit to protect its rights under the parties’ agreement and to
secure compensation for the damage that Leaf has done.
II. PARTIES
4. Plaintiff Truly Social Games, LLC (“TSG”) is an Oregon limited liability
company with its principal place of business in Portland, Oregon.
5. Defendant Leaf Mobile, Inc. (“Leaf”) is a British Columbia corporation with its
principal place of business in Vancouver, British Columbia.
6. Defendant East Side Games Group, Inc. is the successor in interest to Leaf.

III. JURISDICTION AND VENUE
7. The Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(2)
because the amount in controversy, exclusive of interest and costs, exceeds $75,000. For
diversity purposes, TSG is a citizen of the State of Oregon and Leaf is a foreign citizen of
Canada.
8. The Court has personal jurisdiction over Leaf under the United States
Constitution because it has had and continues to have sufficient contacts with the forum state.
This includes, for example, entering into a contract for purchase of membership interest in TSG,
which is based in Oregon; by regularly communicating with TSG’s founders, senior executives,
and employees who reside in the forum state regarding the subject of the contract and the issues
in dispute in this lawsuit; by appointing a Leaf representative to the TSG board of directors, and
by regularly submitting payments to TSG in Oregon. Accordingly, this Court’s exercise of
personal jurisdiction over Leaf does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial
justice.
9. The Court may also exercise personal jurisdiction over Leaf pursuant to Oregon’s
Long-Arm Statute, Or. R. Civ. P. 4, which confers jurisdiction “to the extent permitted by due
process.” Gray & Co. v. Firstenberg Mach. Co., Inc., 913 F.2d 758, 760 (9th Cir. 1990). As
discussed above, this Court has personal jurisdiction over Leaf under the United States
Constitution, and as such, also has personal jurisdiction under Oregon’s Long-Arm Statute.
10. Venue is proper in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(1),
because Leaf is not resident in the United States, and therefore pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1391(c)(3), Leaf “may be sued in any judicial district[.]” TSG’s headquarters and operations are
based in this judicial district, and much of the relevant witnesses and information are also
located here.

IV. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
A. TSG Develops World Class Online Games
11. TSG is a private company headquartered in Portland, Oregon. TSG designs and
develops engaging mobile games. TSG’s founders and executives work out of TSG’s offices in
Portland. TSG developers have created numerous successful online games since TSG’s
inception in 2015, including games such as Planet Gold Rush, Bomb Brawl, Idle Surfing,
Invincible Hero, Archer: Danger Phone as well as announced titles such as Budfarm: Bud
Master and Trailer Park Boys: Get Merged.
12. TSG specializes in the ability to develop online games that have a loyal and
persistent player following. The games developed by TSG have a particular ability to generate
substantial income from players based on design elements that encourage players to make in-
game purchases.
13. Leaf is a publicly traded mobile game platform and publishing company based in
Vancouver, British Columbia. Leaf, now known as East Side Games Group Inc., licenses and
publishes online games. In 2021 Leaf did not have the internal capabilities to develop and
design the volume of games that it sought to publish. Accordingly, Leaf sought to partner with
developers to generate the games that it sought to publish and monetize.
B. Leaf Contracts with TSG to Acquire Ownership in TSG and for TSG to
Develop Lucrative Games
14. In 2021, TSG, through its representatives based in Oregon, began discussions
with Leaf to develop multiple online games for brands that Leaf had licensed. Leaf did not have
the expertise or experience to successfully develop the games and was looking to TSG to
develop and help tune the games, once published, for maximum profitability. TSG was willing
to participate in the development of the games as long as Leaf, a publicly traded and well
financed company, funded the development costs and agreed to share in the royalties of the

games once released. TSG made clear to Leaf that Leaf would be required to provide analytical
and collaborative support to maximize the profitability of the games. TSG was also willing to
offer Leaf ownership in TSG in the hopes of solidifying future partnerships.
15. On June 16, 2021, TSG and Leaf entered into a Membership Interest Purchase
Agreement (“Agreement”). A copy of the Agreement is attached here as Exhibit A. The
Agreement provided that TSG would issue to Leaf shares equivalent to a 20% ownership in
TSG in exchange for Leaf’s contribution of sufficient funds to develop four separate games
based on an agreed budget and up to a maximum amount of $3,000,000:
In consideration of the Initial Interest, LEAF shall subscribe for and contribute to
TSG LLC an amount (the “Initial Interest Consideration”) equal to the aggregate
amounts needed by the TSG Group to develop the Subject Titles only, and in
accordance with a development budget to be mutually agreed upon by LEAF and
TSG LLC, acting reasonably, to a maximum capital contribution of $3,000,000 in
the aggregate, to be advanced quarterly in the amounts described in
aforementioned development budget.
16. The four games to be developed by TSG and published and marketed by Leaf
were identified in the Agreement as Archer: Danger Phone, Roll for Adventure: Idle RPG, Bud
Master and a fourth title, to be determined (“Subject Titles”).
17. The Agreement also provided that concurrent with the issuance of shares, Leaf
would be granted a seat on the TSG board of directors:
Concurrent with the contribution by Leaf and the issuance to Leaf of the Initial
Interest, the Vendors and the manager of TSG, LLC, as applicable, shall adopt
and approve the Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of TSG LLC
to more particularly provide for their respective rights, powers, duties and
obligations as members, and the management, operations and activities of the
TSG LLC and each Vender and Leaf shall enter into and be bound by the terms
and conditions of such Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of
TSG LLC; and each TSG Entity, Vendors, members, managers, as applicable,
(each an “Approving Party” and together “Approving Parties”) shall cause a
nominee of LEAF to be appointed to its respective board of directors or board of
managers, as applicable, and each Approving Party, as applicable, shall continue

to cause a nominee of LEAF to be appointed to its respective board of directors
or board of managers, as applicable so long as LEAF holds 20% or more of the
issued and outstanding voting securities of TSG LLC, calculated on a fully-
diluted basis. For greater clarity, in the event that this Agreement should conflict
with the Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall prevail.
18. Because the parties recognized that the games to be developed under the
Agreement had the potential to be very lucrative once published, the parties agreed that Leaf
could (and in certain cases was required to) purchase additional shares in TSG at certain revenue
milestones and the parties agreed that when certain other revenue milestones were reached, the
purchase price would be adjusted upward, effectively rewarding TSG for the performance of the
games it had developed.
19. Specifically, Section 2.2 of the Agreement provided Leaf the option to purchase
an additional 20% ownership in TSG. Section 2.2 also stated that Leaf was “required” to
purchase additional shares in TSG for $4,000,000 if the gross revenue with respect to the
Subject Titles was “at least $3,000,000…for a period of two (2) consecutive calendar months”
or if Leaf was required to pay TSG “at least $500,000 in aggregate net royalty payments with
respect to the Subject Titles per month, for a period of two (2) consecutive calendar months.”
20. Section 2.3 of the Agreement provided Leaf the option to purchase the remainder
of the outstanding shares in TSG. Section 2.3 also stated that Leaf was “required” to purchase
the remaining shares in TSG for $15,000,000 if the gross revenue with respect to the Subject
Titles was “at least $5,000,000…for a period of three (3) consecutive calendar months” or if
Leaf was required to pay TSG “at least $1,000,000 in aggregate net royalty payments with
respect to the Subject Titles per month, for a period of three (3) consecutive calendar months.”
21. In sum, the Agreement contemplated the eventual merger of TSG as a subsidiary
under the umbrella of Leaf. The Agreement also contemplated a partnership between Leaf and

TSG wherein TSG stood to share in the benefits of the partnership through additional share
purchases and shared royalty payments on the Subject Titles.
22. In entering the Agreement, TSG’s leadership in Oregon relied on promises made
by Leaf executives, including Jason Bailey, Josh Nilson, and Derek Lew that Leaf would fund
the initial development of the Subject Titles for up to $3,000,000 and that Leaf would support
the development of its games with analytics and reasonable collaborative support so that the two
parties could maximize the profitability of the Subject Titles. TSG also relied on statements by
Jason Bailey, Josh Nilson, and Derek Lew made to TSG’s leadership in Oregon that Leaf
intended to pursue in good faith the acquisition of TSG and partnership with TSG contemplated
by the Agreement.
23. In entering the Agreement, TSG also relied on historical metrics for various
online games published by Leaf and projections provided by Leaf to TSG’s representatives in
Oregon that detailed the estimated revenue share for Archer: Danger Phone. These projections,
which were provided by Leaf in an attempt to induce TSG to enter the Agreement, demonstrated
that achieving the revenue milestones in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 of the Agreement (and thereby
receiving additional payments from Leaf) was a virtual certainty. For example, these
projections, provided by Jason Bailey, identified that Archer: Danger Phone was likely to
achieve, by itself, at least $2,000,000 in gross revenue per month.
24. In entering the Agreement, TSG also relied on representations made by Leaf to
TSG’s representatives in Oregon that the contents of a software development starter package,
termed an “IdleKit” by Leaf, would purportedly allow the development of at least one of the
Subject Titles to be expedited.
25. The Agreement permitted termination upon written notice by Leaf only if Leaf
“is not then in material breach of any provision” of the Agreement and TSG failed to perform
under the Agreement. See Agreement Section 8.1.

26. Following execution of the Agreement, TSG issued to Leaf shares equivalent to a
20-percent ownership in TSG and the TSG operating agreement was amended to grant Leaf a
seat on the TSG board of directors. Pursuant to the TSG operating agreement, Leaf had the sole
authority to select and appoint the individual it wanted to serve as its Manager on the board of
directors. Leaf also had the sole authority to “remove[] or replace[]” its appointed manager “at
any time, with or without cause.” Leaf appointed Jim MacCallum to serve as Leaf’s
representative on the board of directors. Through MacCallum, Leaf exercised its fiduciary
obligations as a member of the TSG board of directors.
C. Leaf Fails to Fund Development of the Games, Fails to Support the Games’
Development, and Causes Damage to TSG
27. Beginning not long after the execution of the Agreement, it became clear that
Leaf did not intend to live up to its end of the bargain. Despite multiple efforts to reach
agreement on a budget necessary for the development of the identified games, Leaf refused to
agree on the necessary funding required to support the development of the games.
28. Instead, Leaf demanded, contrary to the Agreement, that TSG generate an invoice
every month outlining TSG expenditures and development costs for each project. These
invoices were then reviewed by Leaf and subject to multiple requests for justification until
partial payment was authorized. This process would often delay payments beyond the quarterly
payments contemplated by the Agreement and resulted in inadequate funds to accomplish the
development of the games contemplated by the Agreement. On multiple occasions, TSG had
challenges meeting payroll costs as a result of Leaf’s refusal to honor the Agreement. Often, the
payments requested by TSG under the Agreement were unreasonably rejected by Leaf
altogether, leaving TSG to cover development expenses on its own. Leaf also repeatedly
directed TSG to reduce the costs and resources that TSG was devoting to developing and
maintaining the Subject Titles as financially successful games. At the time Leaf purported to

terminate the contract with TSG, Leaf had paid only approximately $2,100,000 of the
$3,000,000 that Leaf promised to pay to fund development of the Subject Titles.
29. In addition to refusing to fund the reasonable development of the Subject Titles,
TSG also discovered that the “IdleKit” which Leaf promoted as a way to efficiently build at
least one of the online games, was nothing more than a few spreadsheets that provided little to
no assistance in the necessary development steps. As a result, TSG was forced to spend
additional time and resources to build the software necessary to support the Subject Titles.
30. On October 12, 2022 Leaf demanded, without justification, that TSG use the
proceeds from a tax refund received from the Canadian Revenue Agency to fund its operations,
instead of relying on payment from Leaf. Leaf withheld payment from TSG under the
Agreement on account of this refund, effectively starving TSG of needed and promised
payments under the Agreement.
31. Further, Leaf failed to provide the requisite analytical support contemplated by
the parties to enable the games to succeed in the marketplace. As only one example, Leaf has
failed to provide statistics and metrics to TSG regarding all of the Subject Titles to allow TSG to
optimize the games in the marketplace and increase profitability. Additionally, Leaf has
repeatedly issued contradictory direction and changing specifications on game development,
leaving TSG guessing and without guidance on the ultimate deliverables sought by Leaf.
32. Contrary to Leaf’s obligations and commitments consistent with the Agreement,
Leaf has also failed to devote the necessary marketing resources to the Subject Titles. The
success of an online game in the marketplace is directly tied to the amount of marketing
resources devoted to promoting that game. After TSG completed development of the Subject
Titles, Leaf diverted marketing resources that were earmarked for the Subject Titles to other
projects that Leaf had underway. Leaf’s diversion of marketing resources away from the
Subject Titles has directly and negatively impacted the success of the Subject Titles.

33. TSG has performed under the Agreement in the development of the contemplated
games. In fact, Leaf CEO Jason Bailey told TSG that TSG’s development of Bud Master was
one of the best developed games that he had seen. Notwithstanding TSG’s outstanding
performance, the games developed by TSG have failed to attract the users and revenue projected
by Leaf due to Leaf’s failure and refusal to provide reasonable funding under the Agreement for
the development of the games and analytical and marketing support essential to the success of
the Subject Titles.
34. As a result of Leaf’s failure to reasonably fund and support the development of
the games, the games have failed to attract and retain anticipated users in the marketplace and
TSG has been denied the benefits of further investment, royalties, and revenue sharing from the
games.
D. Executing a Planned Business Strategy, Leaf Attempts to Take Exclusive
Control of TSG’s Games After Purporting to Terminate TSG
35. In the months leading up to October 2022, Leaf, though its representatives, had
directed TSG not to perform any further work on Archer: Danger Phone projects that would
lead to increased traffic and revenue. On August 19, 2022, Leaf’s representative for Archer
development instructed TSG “not [to] move forward with any new approvals or asks” related to
driving users to the game. On October 12, 2022, Leaf directed TSG to shift the game Archer:
Danger Phone into “auto pilot” mode and to effectively cease support and user acquisition for
the game. Archer: Danger Phone was one of the more profitable games developed by TSG,
bringing in over $1M in revenue over a 40 day period. By directing TSG to cease support for
Archer: Danger Phone, Leaf caused revenue for Archer: Danger Phone to plummet, instead of
continuing to increase. On information and belief, Leaf took this step, without consultation with
TSG and in contravention of the parties’ expectations under the Agreement, in bad faith and in

an effort to prevent TSG from accruing the benefits of the expected royalties and additional
payments from Leaf under the parties’ Agreement.
36. On October 13, 2022, Leaf transmitted a letter to TSG purporting to terminate the
Agreement and the parties’ relationship thereunder. Leaf failed to cite any reason for
terminating the Agreement.
37. The day after sending the letter to TSG purporting to terminate the parties’
Agreement and shutting down Archer: Danger Phone, Leaf again enabled access to the Archer:
Danger Phone game, effectively re-starting revenues for a game that Leaf now purported to
claim for its own. Leaf has done the same thing with Bud Master.
38. Leaf has also attempted to surreptitiously acquire full control of the codebase for
the Subject Titles without TSG’s consent. Leaf, through its agents, has repeatedly requested that
TSG employees provide access to the codebase for the Subject Titles developed by TSG and
which allow further development of the games. Leaf’s actions in attempting to misappropriate
the codebase for the Subject Titles and cutting TSG out of any future revenue are contrary to the
Agreement and are done by Leaf in bad faith to frustrate the purpose of the Agreement and to
prevent TSG from achieving the benefit of the bargain under the Agreement.
39. On information and belief, Leaf’s attempt to appropriate the game that TSG
developed and cut TSG out of any further revenue sharing arrangement is a calculated business
strategy by Leaf designed to exploit developers for Leaf’s benefit. Investigation by TSG has
revealed multiple instances where Leaf has employed similar tactics to appropriate development
work performed by others and cut developers out of the promised revenue share for online
games. As only one example, Leaf employed a similar strategy with the original developer for
the game “Archer: Danger Phone”. After completing most of the development, Leaf terminated
its relationship with the previous developer and hired TSG. Leaf accomplished the
appropriation of the prior developer’s work by falsely promising the prior developer that Leaf

would establish a remote U.S.-based studio for the prior developer’s employees in the Boston
area. After a few months, when Leaf had accumulated all of the necessary code and artwork
from the prior developer, Leaf closed its Boston studio and terminated its relationship with the
prior developers.
40. This calculated strategy of misrepresenting Leaf’s intentions in order to steal
games developed by others is consistent with statements made by Leaf’s CEO. Leaf CEO Jason
Bailey has made statements admitting that he intends to “rip off [] games” from others, that he
tries to “get [his] employees to stand up and give [him] their great ideas so that [he] can steal
them and own them and then they’ll be mine and make lots of money from [the games] and pay
them nothing because I am evil.” It is also consistent with statements from Jason Bailey that he
intends to “ruin” TSG.
41. On information and belief, Leaf intentionally misled TSG into believing that Leaf
intended to abide by the Agreement when its real intention was to use TSG to develop games,
refuse to pay TSG the amounts owing under the Agreement, and then steal the games that TSG
developed for Leaf’s own benefit. Leaf has taken additional steps in furtherance of this
unlawful strategy by continually attempting to get third parties under Leaf’s control to
appropriate the code base and artwork from TSG and by threatening to poach from TSG all of
its software developers.

Subject Titles, Leaf has breached, and continues to breach its duty of good faith and fair dealing
under the Agreement.
53. By attempting to terminate the Agreement while Leaf was in breach of the
Agreement and while TSG was in full performance under the Agreement Leaf has breached, and
continues to breach its duty of good faith and fair dealing under the Agreement.
54. As a result of Leaf’s breaches, TSG has suffered damages in an amount to be
proven at trial.
COUNT 3
UNJUST ENRICHMENT
forth fully herein.
56. TSG conferred a substantial benefit upon Leaf, who has accepted, retained, and
enjoyed the benefits of the game development services it received from TSG.
57. The retention by Leaf of the benefits conferred on it by TSG would be unjust and
inequitable because such retention is based on Leaf’s unlawful performance under the
Agreement, including without limitation leaf’s failure to reasonably fund and support the
development of the subject online games.
58. Leaf has been unjustly enriched to the detriment and impoverishment of TSG, not
least by accumulating revenues and subscription fees that would have otherwise accrued to TSG
and TSG’s impoverishment is a direct result of Leaf’s unjust enrichment.
59. Leaf, in equity and good conscience, lacks any justification in retaining the
benefits conferred on it by TSG.

61. Leaf, as an owner of 20 percent of the shares of TSG and as a board member of
TSG, owes fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, and candor to TSG and its shareholders.
62. Leaf, in its failure and refusal to reasonably fund and support the development of
the online games, and in taking steps designed to harm the profitability of the Subject Titles, has
breached its duties of care, loyalty, and candor to TSG.
63. As a proximate result of Leaf’s breaches, TSG has suffered damages in an
amount to be proven at trial.
COUNT 5
FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT
forth fully herein.
65. Leaf, through its representatives, knowingly and intentionally misrepresented to
TSG that Leaf intended in good faith to pursue the acquisition of and partnership with TSG
contemplated by the Agreement, that development of the Subject Titles would generate revenues
commensurate with the targets in the Agreement, that Leaf would support the development of its
games with analytics and reasonable collaborative support so that the two parties could
maximize the profitability of the Subject Titles, and that the contents of a software development
starter package, termed an “IdleKit” by Leaf, would purportedly allow the development of at
least one of the Subject Titles to be expedited.
66. TSG justifiably relied on these representations in entering into the Agreement
with Leaf.
67. As a proximate result of Leaf’s fraudulent misrepresentations, TSG has suffered
damages in an amount to be proven at trial.
