That's the thing tho, they said they would honor the bonus for every employee except those three. Granted the three were getting the lionshare if the bonus, almost all of it, so the publisher is still saving money but they aren't screwing over the actual people making the game in regards to this. We get a delayed release with more content which is usually a good thing imo. Worse case scenario is three dudes getting screwed out of *half* of their 500$ million paycheck. Just pointing out that it isn't a bad situation pet say there.

You *really* need to start paying attention. The founders were already going to split the money between the entire crew, this isn't about quality control, and EA isn't supposed to be a major polished release.

> Survival games benefit more than most genres from iteration Subnautica is as much of a survival game as Minecraft is. The only 'survival' happens in the first 5-10 minutes of the game and never again.

I know kitten space agency is being developed. I'm not sure how much of the original KSP team is involved with it. I suspect they are carefully skirting copyright laws on that front.

I genuinely don't know what about your comment is supposed to be mocking. You're just describing the situation presented in purposefully more confusing language than the article.

They rephrased Krafton's BS corporate speech into the plain English meaning. It's only confusing because what Krafton is claiming is asinine.

I'll wait and see. It's quite weird , any top game today gets close to 100 copy's within a few months of a hit yet subnautica wasn't copied even 1 time not even shoddy. It's weird I just want more subnautica like games. Under sea crafting survival with some mystery.

...what did happy to ksp2? I remember ms acquired them then... ?

Source saying the founders were gonna take the 225 million they were getting out of the 250 and spreading it with their crew? Krafton said they were gonna pay the 25 million of the bonus meant for the crew regardless from what I understand, I think you are getting your facts mixed up (and being condescending about it).

Vintage Story player?

KSA is dead in the water, though. Blowing up Jeb is fun for the whole family, including Jeb. Blowing up kittens is _not_ fun, in any way, shape, or form, unless you're a deranged psychopath. No one will play such a game.

Don't care, show me good gameplay and good reviews, then I'll consider buying it. Why are games nowadays 99% careful wording, business decisions and clout, and 1% game?

I have to imagine that Subnautica is a difficult act to follow because underwater assets are weird. There's a lot of models and AI for first person shooters, but first person swimmers?

No, I'm not. Almost all the coverage of this mentions the founders intentions to spread the bonus around at least in passing. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/report-subnautica-2-is-delayed-potentially-costing-devs-a-250m-bonus-payout is one example.
