Crytek staff not getting paid, leave en masse (arstechnica.com)

That's pretty fucking serious. Any other confirmations? What happens next?

That's surprising. I would have thought they were rolling in cash and building a solid franchise, considering I had actually heard of Crytek/Crysis and don't follow the game industry at all. How does a company just keep chugging along like nothing is wrong until one day they can't make payroll?
