Silicon Knights currently “working on legal issues”

Precursor Games has been receiving a lot of press as of late for Shadow of the Eternals. But Precursor was established from former members of Silicon Knights. Speaking of which, what are the staffers at Silicon Knights up to these days?
According to chief financial officer Mike Mays, the company is “mostly working on legal issues.” Mays wouldn’t say how many employees are at Silicon Knights, but it is “more than one.”
Mays commented on a few other things as well. Mays first clarified that when employees left Silicon Knights, they had the opportunity to buy art. While Denis Dyack did not make any purchases, other staffers – who are now at Precursor – did. Staffers were also given the option to “take computers”, but hardware was not removed immediately due to legal complications with Epic Games. Moved PCs needed to be fully wiped before they could be transferred out of Silicon Knights.
Finally, Mays told Game Informer that the studio possesses a very small amount of material from Eternal Darkness. That makes sense based on the fact that Nintendo owns the IP.
