@Tharsman The (attempted) hush payment and the money owed are two separate things. He is owed money for work produced beyond the scope of his contract that Bethesda used and did not pay for. They attempted to resolve that by tying the owed money to a gag order. The problem here is that the company has issued a very public statement that impacts his reputation and could impact his ability to get future work - and the NDA would prevent him from providing a defense. It's a one-time payment and acceptance of responsibility weighed against future income. In addition, the money is owed for work that was produced and then used by the company that they did not pay for. Tying it to an NDA is ridiculous.
