That could hurt the devs more than the publisher.
If they can prove breach of contract they can maybe get their IP back. Wishlists are a huge deal for if they want to shop the game around to other publishers.
Let’s be honest. Soon, Subnautica 2 will be on the front page of Steam, likely for a month or more. People who have no idea any of this is happening, nor care will buy it up in droves and in six months, none of this will matter, and you’ll all have likely pirated it by then anyway.
It would be a few years later for the court to finally reach any judgement
the publishers have the data of the peak of wishlist, they are free to calculate how much mistreating the devs is going to cost them
