Rebellion accused of layoff pay dodging

MCV Staff 10th May 2010 Business News

UK developer Rebellion faces accusations of denying several staff their wages and redundancy pay.

Numerous sources have told Develop that the remaining Rebellion Derby staff – some of which had worked at the group for nearly two decades – were made to clear their desks and go home on garden leave.

The sources add that the Derby staff, after complying and leaving the studio, discovered they had not been paid wages for April.

Those remaining staff fear their redundancy packages will not be paid either, with allegations that Rebellion Derby is being positioned for liquidation.

A spokesperson for Rebellion declined to comment.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
