Gill doesn’t have to launch the game until September 15 to be eligible for the $250 million bonus at the center of the lawsuit.
Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier reported last year that, should Subnautica 2 meet the necessary revenue targets to trigger the bonus, a portion of it will be shared among some of Unknown Worlds’ staff.
I’m half-expecting the share given to employees to be a couple million tops and fans to turn on both sides, just to put the cherry on this crap sundae of a scandal.
25 million over about 250 employees, so maybe 100k each, although not likely to be evenly split.
About in line with what happened when Minecraft sold to Microsoft. Shitty redpill notch makes 4 billion, decade long employees that made Minecraft into a succeas make 6 figures at best.
I would not turn it down of course, but the imbalance does chafe.

The original deal was that 90% went to the three execs and 10% went to the workers.
So I would say feel free to hate all of them already.
