I too was at Realtime Worlds, I seem to remember having to pay £20 to cash the £130 cheque because I had moved country. Stayed in the games industry for a bit after that, but got totally burned out (edit: and suffered another studio imploding) and decided I just didn't have the passion for making games required to either excel or handle the low pay and high risk involved.
