And yes, to not disrupt company operations, some payments may be scheduled in a way that works for the company’s cash flow — not always for everyone individually. That’s the reality of the world we live in.

So they have zero moat, and are one incident away from being unable to pay their staff at all. Sounds like the devs need to be sending out resumes pronto. That is not a stable employer.

Today there is a new narrative from haters — that Gunzilla incorrectly laid off contractors or paid them with delays. Yes, we are optimising costs — like every company in gaming, crypto, and tech is doing right now. We have been doing this for over a year.

And yes, to not disrupt company operations, some payments may be scheduled in a way that works for the company’s cash flow — not always for everyone individually. That’s the reality of the world we live in. But to protect the interests of our players and our full-time official employees — whose salaries, over six years, have never been delayed by more than a week — we operate at a pace that ensures the company continues moving forward.

And of course, we honor every obligation. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. It’s also worth noting that one of the loudest voices — a contractor who finished working with us just a week ago — was repaid immediately.

What a massive piece of shit. Seems to be a prerequisite for making NFT/blockchain/crypto games though.
