  • In a lawsuit filed last month, the cofounders claimed Krafton tried to sabotage Subnautica 2‘s planned Early Access launch this year to avoid paying a $250 million bonus it had agreed to at the time Unknown Worlds was sold if the studio hit certain revenue targets in 2025 and early 2026. The legal complaint alleged that Krafton violated the terms of the deal by overriding the studio’s independence and firing the cofounders without cause.

    In its response filed on August 12, Krafton denies most of the allegations in the original complaint and argues that it was the cofounders who were trying to rush Subnautica 2 out into the wild despite being behind on its expected content scope. When the company tried to enlist the cofounders, who were not directly involved in the game’s development, to get it back on track, it says it was rebuffed. Krafton claims it had no choice but to remove them from the studio in order to protect Subnautica 2 and prevent a disastrous launch.

    “We made a deal in which they had to successfully launch the game and get a big payment when they hit certain revenue targets, but we had to fire them because they only wanted the money for which they had to make a good game, they didn’t wanted to make a good game, they were in only for the money, for which - again - they had to make a good game, they were clearly sabotaging the game!”

    They are so full of shite. Corporate BS 101.


  • Guillemot told shareholders that Ubisoft works hard to ensure games stay playable, saying the company offers “a lot of support” and services to keep games accessible “24/7.” However, he stated that “support can’t last forever.”

    Ah, the same BS again and again.

    Little real life hack:

    • Someone says that.

    • Say: That’s not what it’s about.

    • Leave them standing and refuse to talk to them like they refuse to understand or act like they don’t understand what SKG is about.

    Think about it. They either don’t understand it but still expect to be taken seriously or they actively try to hurt the movement and don’t argue in good faith. So why bother?
