That’s a fine take. If you realize you’re not having fun, there’s no shame in stopping. For me, the dopamine rush of finally killing a boss after several attempts is worth it. Although the number of attempts I’m willing to put in is quite limited (~15), and I have quit several games after hitting a road block.
I think it’s too early to pick sides here.
According to Krafton’s statement (see the other comment), those 3 didn’t do jack shit regarding the development of Subnautica 2 (I.e. what Krafton promised them 90% of those up to $250M for).
I know the word of the publisher doesn’t count, but unless Krafton fucked up themselves, they should have the paper trail to prove their claims, too.
