Comment on Krafton Issue Statement Regarding Subnautica 2

  They did not have any reason to personally attack the leads except out of spite, and odds are high that doing so will only anger the player base towards the publisher.

  Trashing the devs was a terrible idea, and what they wrote was clearly petty and spiteful.

    Lol what the honest fuck are you talking about?

    They were facing a boycott because it seemed like they fired the original creators to avoid paying the employees.

    They could have issued a statement saying that they would still pay the remaining employees and everyone would assume that they still fired the creators out of greed reasons. If the creators actually didn’t do their jobs, then they would want to make it clear that they are the ones actually committed to making a good game and this has nothing to do with greed.

    That may not be the case, but at present we simply do not know what the reality of the situation was.

      A publisher trashing devs of a beloved game with personal attacks certai ky was a bold move.

        If that description is accurate then there’s nothing unprofessional about that.

        What would be unprofessional in that situation is the original devs not doing their jobs and then allowing a fan backlash to grow.

        Your second example is a perfectly worded admonishment, if the claims are true. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and all that.
