Did it disappear though?

80 employees in the LA game market. Probably not all engineer or engineering related but plenty of managers and such, average salary plus benefits was probably 250k/yr at 6 years that’s 1.5 mil per employee so half that 300 mil was probably employees. Equipment and office space and software licenses. Any marketing materials they may have already invested in. The money didn’t just go poof, it paid people and other companies.

I'd largely assume it disappeared into the black holes otherwise known as the C-Suite's bank accounts.
