After months of missed paychecks and walk-outs, the staff of Homefront developer Crytek UK were finally paid this week, according report by Kotaku. It’s a welcome news for employees.
This comes in the wake of a storm of bad news about the game publisher Crytek, best known for making games like Crysis and Ryse. A number of senior staff have left Crytek UK over the past few months, including studio head Karl Hilton and Homefront director Hasit Zala.
In the US, Mike Read, Producer of Crysis 3, has left. Other top developers have also left Crytek’s Frankfurt studio following ongoing financial issues that led to missed and delayed paychecks since March of this year
