It will be fascinating to see how the drama continues to play out, but Krafton is a publicly traded company and the founders are very rich. My story centered on the normal people who thought they could get six-figure checks. And there’s still hope the public pressure will make things right for them

“The dev team totally fucked up because the founders were gone. But now that the founders are gone, they’re gonna kill it”

It’s a bit hard to reconcile Krafton saying that the founders not being involved with Subnautica 2 led to “repeated confusion in direction and significant delays” with Krafton also saying, a paragraph later, that it respects and supports that same Subnautica 2 dev team

All of that money was tied to revenue targets. It remains to be seen if Krafton will amend the contract to give Unknown Worlds more time to hit those revenue targets even after delaying Subnautica 2 to 2026. And of course, litigation may be looming. This story certainly isn’t over yet.
