BioWare Sued by Laid-Off Employees Over Severance Pay

BioWare laid off 50 employees in August, including 17-year veteran Mary Kirby who worked on every Dragon Age game.

Kirby and 6 other laid-off developers are suing BioWare, claiming the company is trying to avoid paying owed severance packages.

The lawsuit alleges BioWare only offered 2 weeks severance per year rather than the 1 month required by law.

Some employees were pressured not to pursue full severance, told it could hurt funding for Dragon Age Dreadwolf.

Lawyer says over 15 employees originally part of the lawsuit but many dropped out, worried about paying bills without any severance money.
