Gunzilla’s unpaid bills are piling up, say sources—including one for over $100,000

Gunzilla Games faces mounting allegations of unpaid bills and delayed contractor payments, according to multiple anonymous sources with knowledge of the company’s operations. The studio, best known for developing the extraction shooter Off The Grid and for overseeing the revival of video game magazine Game Informer, is reported to have outstanding debts including at least one invoice exceeding $100,000.

The payment issues represent a significant problem for the studio’s reputation and operations. Contractors have reportedly either experienced substantial delays in receiving compensation or had payments refused outright, raising concerns about the company’s financial health and management practices. The use of anonymous sources suggests contractors may fear professional repercussions for speaking publicly about their experiences with the studio.

Gunzilla’s situation highlights ongoing challenges within the gaming industry regarding contractor relationships and payment practices. The company’s dual focus on game development and media operations through Game Informer adds another dimension to the allegations, as both divisions may be affected by financial difficulties. These developments could impact the studio’s ability to attract and retain talent, as well as its standing within the gaming community and industry partnerships.
