Speaking of not delivering, recently content creators publicly criticized gaming agency Tier One Entertainment over months of delayed payments, prompting the company to release an official statement addressing its internal restructuring and financial obligations. For example, according to Unbox PH, creators like Amara TV and Sachi Gomez called out Tier One on social media for long-overdue payments, with some talent waiting up to a year for compensation. In response, Tier One stated that company restructuring and workforce reductions heavily slowed down their operations over the past year. The company stated they prioritized quietly resolving internal issues and processing obligations before issuing a public apology to affected stakeholders. Here is an excerpt on the response: "Most companies make a statement to announce that they'll take action. We decided to take action first and now we believe that this is the time to make a statement. We chose to stay silent not because we were running away from the company's problems but because we chose to solve matters privately. To be transparent, the company went through multiple restructuring processes that resulted to a reduction in manpower that heavily affected our pace of working."
