Krafton says that the game isn’t yet worthy of EA. Ousted led dev says that it is. Someone is probably lying here.
Only way to put an end to that is to lanch the EA this year, for us to juge if it is enough content or not.
From what I’ve read, that bonus isn’t tied to a specific release, but to an earning target.
Not being able to get to that target is tied to the fact that Subnautica 2 EA should have been a huge cash influx, which now isn’t possible due to the delay, and the only remaining way would have been either a sudden renewed Subnautica 1 and BZ success or for the mobile version to be a incredible success, which I doubt.
Releasing the EA wouldn’t be an “I win button” from UW. It could go both way. Either the current state is enough for user to buy it, and not refund it, or it will be a resounding failure, with huge refund percentages. In the first case, this may allow UW to get to that target, but in the second case, it may in the worst case make the studio go under before Subnautica had any chance to be released completed

Which will not happen because it would cost them $250m, please dont pretend to be so ignorant.
