Rumor: Crytek hasn’t paid their Bulgaria employees in 3 months

That's never a good sign.

Crytek has had a rough few years recently. They're suffering from financial troubles that have caused them to reportedly cancel games simply because it wasn't feasible for them. Previously, it was reported that they haven't been able to pay employees and that some of the employees were very uncomfortable with the situation they were in.

Now some more people are coming out of the woodwork and reporting that they haven't been paid in 3 full months. At this time, this is simply a rumor and could've been created by a disgruntled employee or someone trying to stir up controversy so take it with a grain of salt but also take into account that they do have history of similar events.

"Crytek haven't paid their employees in Bulgaria in 3 months and all workers in that office are currently owed 3 full salaries. The company is not looking to pay these salaries any time soon and have spent the last few months lying about the availability of this money in order to keep as many employees as possible.
The Yerli brothers (Avni, Cevat and Faruk) are now looking at the second delay in the last 6 months (after finishing up a delay of 2 months just before the current one) and the third payment delay in the last two years.

The former director of the Sofia studio, Vesselin Handjiev, left several months ago and the studio is entirely at the mercy of Crytek Frankfurt's leadership, which has proved to be unsuccessful in stemming the current bleeding for 6 months.

Anyone who has an offer or is otherwise considering joining Crytek is advised to steer their ship elsewhere, as the current situation is rumored to apply to all studios within the company, even after the closure and selling off of several of the Crytek studios around the world."
