Crytek did not pay their Austin based studio employees for several months before the studio was officially shutdown. I have worked with several people who had worked at Crytek USA for the duration of its existence and their stories left me with a very poor impression of the stability and integrity of Crytek as a business.
It would be good to see Crytek turn things around - they were at one point technology leaders in game development - but I have my doubts that VR represents the right opportunity to do that, at least in the short term.
