Ars Technica are reporting that video game and 3D engine developer Crytek, responsible for the original Far Cry game and the Crysis and Ryse series, became attached to a wave of rumors about unpaid workers last week. Kotaku's original report pointed to late paychecks at its Frankfurt office, and it wrote that in-development games, including Ryse 2, were seeing sudden cancellations. Kotaku's follow-up post on Thursday didn't paint a prettier picture.

According to Kotaku's latest report, employees at the company's UK studio [arstechnica.com] confirmed that their latest paychecks had not arrived on time and in full. In response, "around 100" Crytek UK staffers "handed in formal grievance letters and went home" on Wednesday.
