The final month’s salary appears to be the point of contention. The former MyWorld lead artist says 70% of his colleagues were yet to be paid.
”They should have given everyone a 90-day consultation period,” said MyWorld’s Tashir Rashid. ”The MyWorld staff were given a 30-day consultation before they were made redundant on August 13. The APB staff were only given an hour,” on August 17th.
Over 200 staff were made redundant since entering administration just 6 weeks after the MMO APB launched. It officially closed its doors September 17th. Former Realtime Worlds’ creative director Dave Jones was thought to be going to Epic Games - not so.
