Dynasty Loop have filed a lawsuit seeking Unpaid Wages

[Alabtrosmyster]

Here is the background, Dynasty Loop independent studio has not paid its employees since last year. Sad but it happens.

Polygon article:

Montreal-based indie studio hasn’t paid workers in months, allegedly owing more than $2M in paychecks

Workers at Canadian indie studio Dynasty Loop want answers — and their money. Workers told Polygon they haven’t been paid in months and have no access to work equipment.

Now for the part gaming media doesn't want to talk about.

According to local media MS had a $50 million contract with them for the development of a AAA title.

Use a translation service if needed, there is a lot of drama and the government may be about to sease whatever is left of the company.

I guess that all this is to say, there is an Xbox game we never heard of that was cancelled.

Wow, sounds very shady. Did the studio head / owner take the money and run?

Projects get dropped all the time.

That sounds like it

just like the first Psychonauts. MS is always backstabbing devs

They said they had a $50 million contract with Microsoft but I don't think they did that's why we never heard about it?

Basically the owner used Microsoft name to scam the workers.

Got you all riled up enough to reply. Imagine spending time on a forum dedicated to a console you don't own. What a miserable existence.

Phil sleeps fine knowing he did a piss poor job in the last 15 years, he has no shame.

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Microsoft, it looks like the scam artist studio CEO was just using their name for clout.

I changed it to add more detail, So on twitter people don't just see "Another bad news for Xbox" so they are more likely to click the link.

Is that a new development they are suing Microsoft? I think it's more likely MS sue them for using their company lol

Is this a Sony forum or a general gaming forum? I was inclined to believe the latter.

According to that guy, it's a forum you join to troll anything PS.
Discussions is fine, blatant trolling from a brand new account is suspicious. He's not here to talk games, he's here to troll. What's the point of posters like that?

P.S.
That's not his first low effort post. Every single one he posted is.

That account is a known troll from GAF. One of those PCMR that fights for Xbox like so many of them.
