Yeah, if PG were to clue her in on that, I don't expect it would be through a direct admission, but rather implying that the documents are real. Perhaps by saying something like "it appears we have a problem in Platinum Games with someone leaking information to the press. We will look into it and make sure that doesn't happen again". Or probably something even more subtle like "we'll make sure the truth of the matter gets to the public eventually, don't worry."
Because it is likely a crime, so the fewer that know, the less likely it'll go to court. But on that note, I think both parties will want to avoid making this a legal matter now.
They know that Hellena Taylor (probably) won't do that because she admitted to breaking NDA. So she will get punished as well. That may also be why they may have felt more comfortable leaking the documents than they normally would. Machiavellian said:
To behonest that would be bad for Platinum and expose them to a lawsuit. HR information really cannot be shared outside of the company in most countries and documents like this leaked or otherwise presents a big risk of Platinum exposing themselves to a nice pay day for Taylor. They just should present a statement that the info is false and moved on. Anything more than that could allow things to spiral down a legal path they really do not want to go. |
Well Helena Taylor admitted in public that she broke NDA, and presented the same kind of information to the public. So I find it hard to believe she would try to push for a lawsuit here, if Platinum leave her alone for that one. Becasuse if she does, they'll go after her for what she admitted on camera. And it'll be a lot easier for them to prove who was behind the NDA breach on her side. If Hale is a conspiracy theories, then it seems more likely that she just retweeted those stories because she trusts the track record of the journalists, etc. |
Taylor still can get paid. It depends on the nature of each offense. Unless there is some type of penalty in breaking NDA, that would be between both parties agreement. Meaning that the offense could just be a fine, non employment or something along those lines. Illegally sharing contract information can be a something tried in court and breaking a NDA will not absolve that offense. Its really dangerous and pointless to expose your business to something like this and I can assure you there is a lawyer that would take up this case. |
I'm not sure this information was on any contract since they seemingly never left the negotiation stage.
But what I was saying was that Taylor shared the same type of information vocally, by telling us how much she was supposed to get paid, for how much work, etc.
I didn't suggest that Taylor breaking NDA would absolve any of what PG may have done. I'm saying her doing the same thing verbally means she may not want to persue this legally, because they'll go after her as well then. Especially if she is in financial trouble, as PG + potentially Nintendo have the money for a drawn out legal battle.
