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.
If this is true I’m definitely out. I am barely playing anything technically demanding on the hardware. Mostly older or indie games. The Steam Deck has proven that handheld PC couch gaming is more than enough for me.
Come to think of it, I didn’t even had to buy the PS5. It just catches dust and unlike the PS4 I didn’t get anything like Bloodborne aka something I could pump countless hundreds of hours in to justify buying it.
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?
Y’all care about kinky games on steam? Isn’t that what’s itch.io for?
Honest question. I never bought something fucky on steam.
Even if this would be true (which it isn’t, it’s made up bullshit): I do not give a crap.
No, I do not care about the publisher.
No, I do not care about the studio.
No, I do not care about the developer anymore too.
I do not give a single fuck about any of them anymore. I want to own the game I buy. I don’t want anyone being able to pull the plug. I also want to own the hardware or console I buy. I am ready to watch their existence to crumble as long as I get what I want.
These people lied and conned this hobby of mine into monetised shite. I hope a lot of them somehow crash and burn. Would laugh and dance when they croak. I can play Factorio and Terraria until the heat death of the universe. Your new Assassins Blood Pack: Revenge of the Fortnite 2 Deluxe Bundle MMO-Life Service Definitive Expansion Season Pass DLC Dark of the Moon Surprise Mechanic won’t be missed anyway.
I asked my girlfriend a couple of days ago to sign it. Today she told me she also send it to her family and a lot of them signed. Which is crazy, because not a single one of them is a gamer and they are all Italian, which currently lacks a lot in this initiative.
According to her sister “consumer rights and art preservation is a no brainer”. I love this family so much…more than most of my own family…
Fuck that. I’m sending this to everyone I know. Gamer or not. Common sense alone demands a signature.
Edit: This far 2 gamers finally put their signatures on it and 4 non gamers went with it too. So with me we’re at 7 signatures.
I did my part. But I think it won’t be enough. Yes, after Ross spoke up every content creator and their grandparents started shitting in Pirates mouth and is advertising the petition like crazy. But sadly these kind of things are a bit circle jerky and will be watched by the same people.
Learning Yasuke was based on a real person did little to assuage critics. Asian men in particular argued Schmidt-Hori was trying to erase them, even though her role involved researching historical customs and reviewing scripts, not creating characters.
If you are this stupid, maybe you in particular should be erased?
While Bungie’s always maintained that old Destiny 2 material is just sitting in the vault for now, when the lawsuit was filed it suddenly turned out that material in the vault couldn’t be restored. The engine had been updated, and it simply wasn’t possible to restore the Red War. Instead, Bungie insisted “the attached videos are the best possible way for the Court to review the accused work.” The videos in question included, as Exhibit B, a 10-hour lore video put together by YouTuber MynameisByf.
Me: Bungie can’t fuck up harder
Bungie: This isn’t even my final form 😎
The only good thing that came out of this is that MynameisByf probably got a lot of exposure. Good for him.
I just woke up and read the title as “terf war erupts”. Was really disappointed when I read the article.
As for the actual topic, his mods are mostly fine. It’s a shame he has to mix bug fixes with content alteration. I love overhaul mods big and small. But I like to choose playing them myself, thank you.
Yes, the New Order was great. But for me the New Colossus was the best Nazi killing I ever experienced in a game.
The moment you finally murder the shit out of Frau Engel is burned into my memory.
Lady… That the best you got? Then your best won’t do. You’re among wolves now. And these are our woods.
❤️❤️❤️
Although this particular game has been taken down, the scammers can still freely sell their other ripped stuff.

And it seems like they get away with it too.
