He has bigger troubles coming for him in all this. He is 100% going to lose his house and any assets he didn't hide long before now. Karen and the other scammers will bleed him dry, and whatever WARN is sounds like the state is going to fuck his ass raw as well.

Not necessarily. All that really matters in modern business is who can afford the better lawyers and how long you can afford to pay them. Any business worth anything is usually in a lawsuit of some sort. And typically more than one. It takes a long time to get a court date for business lawsuits, usually over a year. In the mean time you are going through discovery and all the other bullshit that takes up valuable time from actually doing the work required to keep your business profitable (and able to pay the lawyers).

A settlement is usually reached a long time before the trial ever starts. It doesn't matter if you are right if it takes everything you own to prove it. If the state or the feds get involved, then that is a different matter. They don't care about spending other peoples money on lawyers. But if it's just business people suing each other then a settlement where both sides lose is almost guaranteed.

So all those people saying that steams payout day was like a day or two days before the announcement are just spreading fake news? I dont think it would have mattered regardless - as someone did the math for the size of team, the average pay, the server costs, etc. and the money made on the game from steam alone would have been spent in the first month alone (after steams cut).

Im just surprised Shariff didnt take care of Margot or w/e her name is in the end. That hoe has been ride or die with him for years now.

fake news sounds so harsh. AoC released on Dec11 and reports of a month wages unpaid. Like you said regardless same outcame, makes you wonder what tipped Steam off, maybe the 850k bill they owed.

Moving assets back in November should absolutely prove he had a plan to screw employees and investors.
