It looks like bad news for the staff at Hello Games. Apparently their insurance company won't cover the damage from the recent flood that wiped out their offices.

Pretty common for home insurance. Flood coverage is a separate policy. Sucks to get flooded without coverage
Sucks when your home is considered to be in a flood zone, and the bank demands you get flood insurance. Even though there never was or will never be a flood in my area. I live in Jersey where Sandy hit, and there was no flood. But because the whole state was hit hard the insurance companies here are flipping out. What's worse, the people that were flooded aren't getting any money.
Insurance companies are a waste of money.

Only idiots don't know standard insurance policies do not cover flood damage.
Yeah but, why shouldnt they? You got insurance to insure your shit, only to find out that you needed extra super duper cherry on top insurance for that one thing that it didnt cover? Wtf is that? I think a lot of people just arent expecting their insurance to be so selective about what it actually insures.
So you want people living in trailers and people living in mansions with millions if dollars in antiques to have the same policies that cover everything?

Common sense: Dirt cheap rent in a warehouse near a river = flood zone.
I didn't read beyond the graphic, but I suspect this company is in Austin TX. If so, then the flooding was very unusual. It's often hard to get flood insurance unless you're in an area where you can buy it from the government.
If it's elsewhere, then I'd have to read more than that, and I've never heard of the company, so my interest isn't that high
Better double check that.Hell, better read the fine print for my auto insurance. It may not cover auto accident zones.

South Mississippi has a similar problem with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina that got a direct hit from Hurricane Katrina.
Lets not forget the general insurance that doesn't cover "acts of god" so basically saying if anything other than someone driving into your house, or you burning it down yourself then you're not covered
If you don't read the fine print on a contract then you aren't fit to run a business.
The insurance company is not at fault here, especially since there is no insurance for stupid.

Please dont defend an organization who's sole purpose is to misdirect and confuse people into giving them unnecessary amounts of money, and then do everything possible to avoid paying out.

Well the real loss is prob all their work
I concur on that specific point. but, in that case, they are dumb if they didn't have an off-site backup plan.
Better double check that.
My buddy had Allstate, brought a brand new car home and paid his premium 6 months in advance.
Wind storm that night, tree fell over and totaled his car.
Allstate claimed act of god, refused his claim.
He took them to court, Allstate sent him a refund check in the mail and told the judge he was never covered to begin with.
My buddy got screwed out of a $30k car.
Remember, you're in good hands!
Yeah, no.fact: anywhere & everywhere is a potential flood zone
I just make sure my insurance agent is an Atheist so there's no debate.Well that's strange, because my auto insurance always covered acts of God.
