Subnautica 2 Publisher Says It Fired Cofounders To Avoid Another Kerbal Space Program 2 Debacle

> 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.Vintage Story player?

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.

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.

There's a lot of models and AI for first person shooters, but first person swimmers?

...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).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.

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?

They aren't "splitting" it. They said they would give *some* money to the employees not eligible for the bonus. It might be like a 50 dollar gift card for all we know. The 25 million is still going towards the employees as well, the official one in the contract. I'm not sure what difference that makes towards what I'm saying? We dont know if the game is half baked or not. The courts can decide, but at least, we get a game with more content.

I believe them as far as I can throw them tbh. These guys also bought [Last Epoch](https://www.icy-veins.com/last-epoch/news/last-epoch-devs-bought-by-krafton-fans-fear-another-subnautica-2/) so they better watch themselves before they get a 2nd game's community mad at them.

That'd be a funny mechanic for forgiving mistakes
