Playstudios has reached a settlement with $MYPS investors over claims that it misled them about its financial performance and the expected success of its flagship game.

Outline:


In 2021, Playstudios assured investors that Kingdom Boss would be a major revenue driver, projecting $60 million in earnings. However, the company later revealed that the game project had been abandoned due to severe development issues. Following this disclosure, $MYPS dropped sharply. On July 1, 2022, investors filed a lawsuit, claiming Playstudios misrepresented the viability of Kingdom Boss.


Timeline:

  • June 22, 2021: Playstudios went public via SPAC merger with Acies Acquisition.
  • February 24, 2022: Playstudios reported lower-than-expected 2021 revenue and announced the cancellation of Kingdom Boss, causing a 4.7% drop in $MYPS.
  • May 5, 2022: The company reported further revenue declines, and $MYPS fell 17%.
  • July 1, 2022: Investors filed a lawsuit, citing false revenue projections and unrealistic expectations for Kingdom Boss.
  • January 2025: Playstudios reached a settlement with investors.

Background:


Playstudios went public in June 2021, and promoted Kingdom Boss as a key growth opportunity, assuring investors that the game would generate $60M in revenue. The company repeatedly highlighted its strong market potential and emphasized its ability to deliver sustained financial growth.

However, on February 24, 2022, Playstudios announced that Kingdom Boss had been canceled, citing major development failures.

This disclosure came alongside lower-than-expected revenue results, revealing that the company’s earlier projections were overly optimistic.

By May 2022, Playstudios reported additional financial setbacks, confirming that revenue growth had slowed further. Following these revelations, $MYPS stock fell 17%.

As a result, on July 1, 2022, investors sued Playstudios, arguing that the company misled them about Kingdom Boss and its financial expectations.
