Jason Schreier: BREAKING: Krafton has delayed the highly anticipated game Subnautica 2 to 2026, potentially costing the development team a $250 million bonus.

The studio’s leadership had wanted to release the game this year but were ousted by Krafton last week.

    Seeing how publisher buying company and fucked their employees, now i’m super glad Hoopo sell only the IP to Gearbox, and not the whole company. Unknown Worlds might as well become a f2p company now, and my interest had plunged below zero.

    These absolute dipshit MBAs could’ve made so much goddamn money if they just let the original team make the game they want to make.

      Any business executive who graduated after 1993 can’t run a business sustainably…all they know is line go up, microtransactions, layoffs, give themself bonus, buzzwords & lie.

    According to the article the old leadership wanted to share the bonus with the whole development team of around 100 people. I don’t think the motivation of the team will be great now that the publisher pushed the bonus in unreachable distance. Fucking assholes can’t even stand by their own promises.

      $2.5 million per person. They can’t afford that, they need their slaves. I hope whole dev team publishes game source code on torrent and resigns.

        Detecting multiple executive class lifeforms in the game. Are you certain whatever you’re paying is worth it?

    Chunk of the founders ousted and a dev team resentful about getting screwed. Think we got ourselves another Concord on our hands.

    There’s a petition going around now to try to “Save Subnautica”.

    It’s at least worth a shot: https://www.change.org/p/save-subnautica

    Odds that Ted Gill, Charlie Cleveland, and Max McGuire, previous leadership at Krafton saw that well earned bonus and just thought, “yoink”?
