That's the thing tho, they said they would honor the bonus for every employee except those three. Granted the three were getting the lionshare of the bonus, almost all of it, so the publisher is still saving money but they aren't screwing over the actual people making the game in regards to this.
We get a delayed release with more content which is usually a good thing imo. Worse case scenario is three dudes getting screwed out of half of their 500$ million paycheck. Just pointing out that it isn't a bad situation per say for consumers. If the game was lacking, we are being done a favor.
