The best thing that could happen is to have the Subnautica founders either settle with them to take back the IP (and ideally at least the payout they are owed), or utterly wipe the floor with them in court, and then use the damages awarded to create the true successor to Subnautica that it was always going to be without the interference, meddling and sabotage from Krafton.
This game is dead chief. Or you’re going to wish it’s going to be dead if it ever releases
Yeaaah, it might sell okay but there’s no way it gets a positive rating on steam after all the controversy. The people in charge are really bad at their job
Damn. That’s a huge shame. The first game was excellent. I was really hoping we would get something similar
The really sad part is that the studio, as is, only has Below Zero and Moonbreaker to show for. Not the best portfolio to be honest.
And with everything else going on now on top of it, I’m starting to think Subnautica will remain a one-hit-wonder.
Have you tried Below Zero? I know some didn’t like it as there was a lot more on-land play, but I thought it was pretty good.
I have played it! I thought the water gameplay was pretty good, but the on land was not my favorite.
I really liked the cyclops submarine as a mobile base. It just felt like it made the underwater sections feel claustrophobic and dangerous at every turn once you encountered the larger leviathans. I missed it a lot in below zero
Fucking hell the internet without ad blocking is suffocating
Indeed
Wait wait wait, these are the same clowns behind the KSP 2 fiasco? Wowwwww…
Edit: I misread
Different company, that was Private Division. While searching to see if there were any connections I did find a funny quote they tried to use as an excuse to fire the leads though:
Krafton was not willing to take the risk of the resulting damage to the Subnautica franchise and the Company’s long-term reputation–a risk that, if materialized, would be irreversible, as shown with Kerbal Space Program 2
Considering how that turned out, lmao
I misread that, oops
That was stupid
Hah ! incriminating evidence ? I don’t know how decisive is an email conversation printout.
edit I’m asking. Can we still ask things ?
I am just here to comment on your edit.
Maybe something is lost in translation, but it doesn’t read as if you are asking a question. But that you’re using the question as device to make your point.
ah ! thank you for chiming in. What point does it sound like I am making?
To clarify, I was trying to express the following : I hope these emails constitute incriminating evidence, but I cannot tell due to my complete lack of knowledge wrt US law.
Emails are evidence, that’s why they’re entered into the record
nooice
It is! The modern court system probably wouldn’t be able to function without allowing emails
cheers. I was in doubt because french justice famously disregarded a very incriminating recorded phone convo between Sarkozy and one of his accomplices. So I thought, maybe this is similar
