Some time ago we wrote about the problems of the studio staff Motorsport Games: due to salary delays, they began to threaten to leak the source code of a number of games and even planned to sue. Portal Insider Gaming talked to a number of developers and learned that not everything is so bad.
The leak of the source code, as it turned out, was threatened by a single employee of the studio. And his colleagues did not support such extreme measures, recalling that this is a criminal offense. As it turned out, the employee himself viewed his threat more as an ultimatum to management than as a plan of action. According to him, he filed a lawsuit, but it was not possible to confirm this.
Salary arrears are gradually being paid off, and the team in Georgia has not actually received any money since December 28, that is, less than a month at that time, and the problems began in October. Payments continue, and the management can eliminate the difference in salaries: as we remember, those who moved to Georgia, they turned out to be 20% lower than before.
Problems remain with those who do not agree to leave Russia. They will be fired from the company in accordance with Russian laws.
Motorsport Games recently entered into a debt-for-equity swap deal with the parent company to pay off a $1 million debt. Motorsport Network. The announcement of this agreement caused Motorsport Games stock to soar over 1000%. Shortly thereafter, they fell in price, but are still worth 688% more than before the publication of the news.
