Annapurna claims they didn't have enough time to collect developer contact information to alert them sooner

I mean, that’s just utter BS. In two weeks you couldn’t find a phone number or email address for your customers??

Sounds like a shit show of a company and the previous employees made the right move.

Disagreements over the direction of the Interactive division, chaotic departures, communication breakdowns, and a perceived lack of leadership transparency at Annapurna Interactive led to a staff walk-out that has left 25 individuals jobless, Annapurna leaders scrambling, and numerous developers concerned about their contracts with the publisher.

It has to hit a serious breaking point for an entire department to do this.

I've been in jobs where the whole dept disconnects and just keeps accepting a paycheck while waiting out the storm. So it must have been really really bad.
