LOL. I look forward to the continuing discovery phase of this when Krafton is going to have to prove all these claims and the emails to back them up. At the end of the day they have to or they are screwed.

When certain labor lawsuits go ahead, they don't specifically need proof. For instance, if you believe there is retaliation, an NLRA ill often not need definitive proof. Essentially it is the "see? we're squeaky clean" defense, when in reality, all anyone need do is look at the timeline of events to see that retaliation is happening. Ie, someone gets "mysteriously/ unrelatedly" fired after reporting management. A labor attorney often will look at that and say, "yeah no shit you were retaliated against." and go from there. Often times, it comes out in the wash, because you have to prove intent. Sounds pretty open and shut to me: guys were on track. Maybe acting like douchenozzles, maybe not, ultimately though, all they need do is show the build and whether it is "playable" as a game. Tacking shit on at the end is Krafton's desperation because they know they never intended to payout the bonus, and now they're caught wanking. So, they're pivoting like a demented pedo in higher office, and saying "and this! And this!" When obviously they screwed up. My moneys on the game coming out great, eventually, and being in the devs hands, and krafton getting buried. Unless devs start coming out of the woodwork to corroborate their BS, which is unlikely given they were all expected to see a payout.

Completely agree with Nick's comment about making a copy of your work email. If you ever get the sense that your company is about to pull some uckery or make you a scape goat, make a copy. It gives you some protection without a lawsuit, and if you do end up in a lawsuit you can show whether or not they're turning everything over during discovery.

I don't understand why some videos get blocked by youtube, (saying I need to log in to prove I'm not a bot) and some don't. I just go to youtube when that happens, but it is annoying.

All of this drama mostly has served to kill my interest in the game. 😑

Where things get fishy? Nick, you've been hanging out with Darren too much! Kidding, I'm here for the puns.

Sweet wrongful termination lawsuit, but only for the leads, not the whole team
