Despite official claims to the contrary, Crytek may be in more dire straits than initially thought. According to sources close to Kotaku, it is being reported that the staff at Crytek UK are no longer going into work.
According to four different sources from Crytek UK, the development studio has not been paid the full amounts they are owed for quite some time now. According to their sources, the staff at Crytek UK walked in, handed in formal grievance letters, and then went home. The studio is reportedly down to around 100 employees remaining. Reportedly, a good number of staff have been leaving for greener pastures over the past few months.
Crytek UK is the studio responsible for the development of Homefront: The Revolution. Another rumor suggest that Deep Silver and Crytek are negotiating over what will happen to the Homefront IP. Staff at Crytek UK are hopeful that Deep Silver will be able to purchase the rights to the IP from Crytek.

by Shawn ZipayThis week we got to see the planned response from Crytek that addresses the recent legal response by Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) to dismiss a lawsuit from Crytek over Star Citizen. I say it's a "planned response" because while this was filed literally yesterday (January 19), the court date isn't until February 9.
You can see the full legal response via Docdroid. Do note that clicking on that link will open whatever your PDF viewer is. Chrome seems to have one built in already. ...-
