Without this scandal I would have never known a sequel was on the way.
Makes me wonder if this might actually all just be kayfabe to drum up free publicity…
All PR is good PR I guess. He did successfully promote Subnautica 2, judging by the reactions in this thread. Without this scandal I would have never known a sequel was on the way.

Hanlon’s razor applies here. It could be, but I doubt it. It’s just yet another stupid CEO who thinks he, and his AI chatbot, are smarter than everyone else.
However, internet users are also stupid. They think buying the game will hurt them. In what world does that make sense? They company made the purchase with this deal, assuming they’d pay it. They expect it to make them money. The CEO just thought he could just squeeze extra profit out of it by getting out of the deal. It doesn’t mean they’ll lose money by paying it. It just means the game is making them a ton of money, but they’ll have to give some of it back to the studio.

One of the top lemmy posts of all time is a warning not to buy Subnautica 2.

Maybe I didn’t scroll far enough, but it looks a lot like all the top lemmy posts are about Lemmy or about how Reddit sucks.

I guess my extensive block list might have something to do with it as well. Apparently I’m not missing much!
