  hope it fares better for them than the subnautica 2 devs.

    Narrator: It didn’t.

    Maybe this comment will age poorly, but I have a feeling it will. Subnautica 2’s contract was signed in the middle of market mania with very unreasonable sums of money at stake. Krafton should honor the insane deal they made instead of everything we’ve seen lately, but I doubt they’ll make a deal like that again after the gold rush ended.

      That doesn’t really read to me like a good sign. If Krafton is willing to do what they did to Subnautica’s team, then basically no contract they sign is worth the paper it’s written on. Seeing them effectively murder their own project and dismantle a proven successful developer like this doesn’t inspire confidence that they’ll be more graceful in handling others.

  Alright who tf is Krafton and why are they colonising all of a sudden

  (rhetorical - I’ll be researching them later)

    They’re the publisher of PUBG, and after making infinite money off of that, they’re diversifying.

      Battleroyale game studios enshittifying the entire industry, lovely. I have nothing against the genre but I do wish it’s popularity would sink for a decade or so

  This is going to end badly.

  Wall that sucks. On the bright side, the game has a full offline mode, so as long as I can stop or revert updates, there’s only so much they can ruin it for me.

    Thing is, if you ever have to reinstall it or forget to put Steam in offline mode, you’re getting the update.

    I wonder if it can launch directly from the exe, so we can just keep a copy until a future update removes that option. I’ll check it out when I get home.

    It’s my goto arpg, so if things turn to shit, I sure don’t want to lose access to it.

  Is it time to cross it from my wishlist already?

  • oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Given what they are doing to the Subnautica 2 devs, cross it off and forget it ever existed

      But man, it looked so promising... Well, probably time to look at Grim Dawn DLCs instead.

  It feels like they’ve been acquiring a lot of studios recently. Hopefully it doesn’t crumble all at once.
