Gunzilla Games, the developer of the NFT battle royale Off the Grid and, more recently, resurrector of Game Informer, is facing multiple allegations that it has failed to pay some of its staff, in some cases for months. Gunzilla CEO Vlad Korolev acknowledged the claims in a message posted to X, writing, "to not disrupt company operations, some payments may be scheduled in a way that works for the company's cash flow," but added that "we honor every obligation" and said that a "narrative" about unpaid contractors is coming from "haters" who want the studio to fail.
The issue first came to light on LinkedIn, where former senior animator Paul Creamer wrote that "Gunzilla Games has not paid its employees for many months but still expects them to work," adding that he had not been paid since October 2025, and that some employees have been waiting even longer.
