Former staff members of defunct developer 38 Studios are starting to receive their final paychecks for their work on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. 38 Studios went bankrupt in 2012, leaving many employees waiting for the rest of their pay for nearly 9 years. According to reporting from Bloomberg, about 400 employees will receive checks, with the percentage differing based on which office the employee worked for. Rhode Island studio employees will receive just 14% of the pay owed to them, while Maryland studio employees will receive 20%. Some employees have apparently reported receiving the checks, while others are reporting that they’ve been sent to old addresses.
It took 9 years but I finally got a check from what 38 studios owned me for the work I did but never got paid on. It was less than 15% what was actually owed. Doesn’t even cover the tax/penalties from the 401k we had to pull from to pay medical bills.
