I disagree. I'd be like: Bring it on. Play the fake victim card. Make a few showy social media posts, posting select screenshots of email chains. Rally everyone around the 'evil greediness' of megacorps. Not only do you score PR sentiment wins, you get a massive PR blitz. "Tiny US cyberintel startup sued by massive Chinese-state-linked online game" (I don't actually know if they're Chinese-state-linked but I'm channeling my inner modern-day journalist hahaha!)
