Subnautica 2 released today in early access.
Game was mostly ready before the original devs were fired to get out of paying them what they were owed.
Original Devs seem to be winning in court, but it is an ongoing legal battle.
I was thinking to boycott but now I’m less sure. What are your thoughts?
A lawsuit forced krafton to rehire the fired devs, and extended the the payout period based on sales.
So ironically, for maximum hurt for krafton, you should buy the game to force a larger payout.
Dont fucking buy it. Severe Violation of EU Law, GDPR, and Consumer Protection Regulations in the EULA.

The screenshot is also a link.
Ooooh :O :D
Buy it on steam and refund it several times. I believe Steam takes a 20% cut of every purchase, yet developers pay 100% of the refund. In Germany Subnautica costs 30€ - 20% are 6€. Buy and refund the game 5 times and the devs will lose 30 bucks on you. You won’t support them, but own a legal copy >:D
this is weird, man
