Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoningin kehittäjät ovat alkaneet saada palkkojaan melkein 10 vuotta studion sulkemisen jälkeen

Baseball-tähti Curt Schillingin pelistudio 38 Studiosin, ja heidän pelinsä Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoningin, tarina on surullinen. Studion piti sulkea ovensa pian pelin julkaisun jälkeen, ja monet työntekijät jäivät ilman palkkojaan.

Potkut sai kaikkiaan 400 työntekijää, ja nyt, melkein 10 vuotta studion sulkemisen jälkeen, pelinkehittäjät ovat alkaneet saada maksamattomia palkkojaan. Bloombergin mukaan tilille on alkanut tupsahdella rahaa viime viikolla.

Valitettavasti kaikki työntekijät eivät ole saaneet palkkojaan, eivätkä täysimääräisenä.

"Many of the staff who worked for the volatile game developer in either its Rhode Island or Maryland offices will receive payment of about 14% or 20%, respectively, of what the company owed them before it ran out of money and was forced to shut down on May 24, 2012, according to bankruptcy documents. After nearly a decade of litigation through a Delaware court, final payouts were decided in June and recently began being distributed to staff. One former 38 Studios employee told Bloomberg News they received their check this week. Other employees said their checks had been sent to old addresses, as many of them have moved multiple times for new jobs in the years since 38 Studios closed."
