alleging that the publisher had breached obligations of their agreement in purchasing Versus Evil. tinyBuild announced in a recent trading update that they had settled the litigation, agreeing to pay the claimants “$3.5 million in cash (in addition to legal costs).”
…are you allowed to have layoffs after receiving a $3.5M settlement from your publisher? I know everyone will be feeling bad for the devs but this sounds sketchy as hell of them
Yes, this was a founder complaining that they didn’t get paid or whatever their complaints were. The company was bought and owned so they can do whatever.
As usual, c level gets rich, workers get laid off.

As long as all wages are paid then there’s no obligation to continue employment in “at-will” states.
The employer must pay all due wages, but after that they can close or fire for any reason, including “fuck you, got mine”
