Former Boston Red Sox pitcher and 38 Studios founder asks Rhode Island judge to toss out suit brought against him by state.
Lawyers representing former Boston Red Sox pitcher and 38 Studios founder Curt Schilling on Friday asked a Rhode Island judge to dismiss the lawsuit filed against him and other executives of the now-defunct game studio, reports the Associated Press.
The Rhode Island Economic Development Corp. (RIEDC) sued Schilling and other executives last year, claiming they misled the agency and committed fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy. Schilling calls these claims "implausible," according to the court documents.
Schilling's filing, however, seeks dismissal of the suit on the grounds that 38 Studios did disclose the company's financial needs to the appropriate state officials. The filing also states that it cannot be proven that 38 Studios knowingly made false statements to the RIEDC.
Schilling recently sold one of his famed bloody socks at an auction for $92,613.
TimeGate Studios confirms layoffs, says all projects in development continue to move forward.
TimeGate Studios, the developer that helped create Aliens: Colonial Marines, today enacted a round of layoffs, company president Adel Chaveleh told Polygon.
"Today, we had to make the difficult decision to let go of some great game developers. This is never easy, and we're doing all we can to assist those developers affected," Chaveleh said. "TimeGate is preparing, as is the entire industry, for the transition to next-generation consoles and new business models. As part of this reinvention, all projects and strategic initiatives continue to move forward at the studio."
No specific number of layoffs was provided, though sources told Polygon that about 25 staffers were impacted. These sources also indicated that the cuts were a result of a publishing deal going belly up.
TimeGate Studios most recently assisted Gearbox Software with development on the critically blasted Aliens: Colonial Marines.
