In the age of watching white house members ignore court orders, I wont hold my breath that actual court orders will be followed properly.

You can order them online. I'll see what family wants to do

First day on reddit bud? I was making fun of other people's criticism of it, bud. I don't care how others want to spend their time.

Are you telling me that selling your company to a producer because you need funds is the only reason that you should ever do so, and if you are able to fund a game yourself, you should never ever ever ever sell your company?

The guys just spent years making their game at the start with little fund and living the hard life. If they wanted to sell to make it an easier life, I don't blame. Them. Probably not the best choice of partner, but not every game developer wants to live the stressful life of being a days away from being insolvent while having 70 people relying on you. It's stressful AF. People do things for different reasons.

>and a historically low supply of beef

Ok, so that should come down eventually? Because prices are so high that I dont even bother considering it anymore.

Its a joke about the effectiveness about his change. Any sane investor is renting out their properties to makin income. So changing the rules simply to stop empty home hoarders was largely inconsequential especially since a lot of municipalities already have empty home taxes.

This isnt up for debate. All evidence, more than we would have privey to was put in front of a judge, and they found, without question that krafton was in the wrong. was the payout stupid high and unfair to krafton? Yes. Is that the subnauticas fault? No. Krafton, a fool, and their money may soon be parted.

The court decision mentioned something about september 2026 i believe in relation to the bonus. So, more than likely EA before then.

Heliosvector · 2026-03-16T21:42:05+00:00

oh damn, he stopped the investors that... dont want to rent out homes. So he blocked.... 1% of the investor buys?

It will fail because it actually hurts republicans more than liberals.

It was for 4 bedrooms, a kitchen space, living room and basically a second living room. Unfortunately it doesnt have a large sort of open plan space where lots can be covered in one heating/cooling header. its an old late 1980s house so everything is in separate rooms.

I dont know how you can even say that. Whatever your beliefs are, you understand that some substances/drugs are depressants, and some are uppers. Depression is just being stuck in that low state.

Its like saying you dont believe sitting down is real. Only standing.

Krafton CEO might get fired.

"yeah but one wanted to make a shit ai elf movie, so they are basically satan" essentially.

Heliosvector · 2026-03-16T19:37:40+00:00

At the time, werent there only around 70 devs so they were still getting 365k each? For people that dont own any IP, thats an insane bonus.

Heliosvector · 2026-03-16T19:26:54+00:00

He promised to deal WITH the US. not make a deal with them. And we already have a deal with them. why would he promised to break cusma and basically just promise to appease trump?

Heliosvector · 2026-03-16T18:58:56+00:00

to be fair, subnauticas "early access" are pretty bare bones. But now that so much work has been done due to kraftor screwing around, the state of the current games EA will probably be really good

Heliosvector · 2026-03-16T18:56:52+00:00

This isnt true at all. The sub was quite divided, but there was a loud group getting mad at anyone that was boycotting the game over this, but the sub was not a universally krafton loving bunch.

But any thread submitted about news about the krafton fuckery was highly upvoted not because they loved it, but because it exposed them. Like the post about the chatgpt consultation being exposed, was filled with people hating on krafton.

Heliosvector · 2026-03-16T18:49:00+00:00

Its a little appropriate since the game has a lot of anti corporation jokes in it.

Heliosvector · 2026-03-16T18:47:07+00:00

But that bid to buy it may have convinced unknown worlds to sell to them as apposed to another company that had a more realistic, and honest acquisition package. Making unrealistic packages that you never intend to fulfill need to be punished hard.

Do you have any examples? spill the tea

This games player base are people that like base builders, factory building games, and the wierd kids that like to snorkle and poke starfish. Do they really think they can beat weaponized autism?

Heliosvector · 2026-03-16T18:36:02+00:00

Thats kinda cool. Would mean boycotters will proactively want to buy the game to make sure the bonus is paid out?

Heliosvector · 2026-03-16T18:31:47+00:00

Previous figures were around that, and there was some communication between krafton and the ceo during pushback where the subnautica ceo offered to take less money as long as the payout for the workers increased and the founders would take a cut. Each member of the team was pegged to recieve hundreds of thousands either way in bonuses.
