Yeah. These illegal firings happened around 9 months ago. I doubt these guys had the funds to just sit on the sidelines, doing nothing, hoping that the court would rule in their favour. Even if they're offered their jobs back, it could be that by now they've made other commitments.

    Or just don't want to contribute to an organization that tried to fuck them over in the past. I'd be much more inclined to get a payout and move on with my life. What's the point of returning to a job and making more money for the people who just tried to get rid of you to save a buck?

    With many businesses I'm sure that's true. But, it might be different when you're making something artistic. Subnautica has a lot of passionate fans, and it's a unique kind of game. These guys might really want to finish this game that they poured a lot of themselves into. Maybe not, maybe they just want to move on. But, I think a lot of people who work on games really care about what it is they're doing.
