There’s been an interesting development; Krafton have responded with some pretty direct claims and the founders are suing.

In particular, following the failure of Moonbreaker, KRAFTON asked Charlie to devote himself to the development of Subnautica 2. However, instead of participating in the game development, he chose to focus on a personal film project.
Ever since the Doom Eternal Mick Gordon situation there has been several more controversies (Bayonetta’s VA pay comes to mind) where it seems the first person to make the claim is hiding something. Is it an attempt to control the narrative? It has always backfired so far so we’ll see if that trend continues.
Krafton has a history of misleading, lying to, and screwing over developers. Nothing they say is worth the bandwidth used to transmit it. Given the timing and other statements, it seems abundantly clear that this is nothing more than a brazen attempt to steal a quarter of a billion dollars from the developers.

I have an unrelated headache, but the constant allcaps of KRAFTON really makes me want to nail someone’s dick shut.
