A RuneScape artist who found a document on an office printer that stated a senior veep's salary and mentioned it to colleagues was wrongly fired by red-faced managers, the Employment Appeal Tribunal has ruled.

John McCambridge, a lead concept artist on the long-running massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG), was sacked from Cambridge-based Jagex Ltd in August 2017 after "finding a document that had been left on the communal printer which contained the salary of a senior employee and telling a few colleagues about it".
