Poor timing considering the subnautica drama

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.
It doesn’t inspire confidence, but we’re not looking at a market where people are expecting there to be no ceiling to gaming anymore, so I doubt they bought this studio for hundreds of millions of dollars like they did Unknown Worlds.
Alright who tf is Krafton and why are they colonising dev studios 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
At least they saved Tango Gameworks.
This is going to end badly.
Gross.
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.
same old same old :( atleast we still have grim dawn
Is it time to cross it from my wishlist already?
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.
There’s also a promising-looking Titan Quest II around the corner (hopefully not perpetually around the corner…it’s been a long time coming).
Grim Dawn is the best. Not even close when comparing to last epoch
It feels like they’ve been acquiring a lot of studios recently. Hopefully it doesn’t crumble all at once. And hopefully they don’t force LE to put slop monetization into the game.
Fuck fuck fuck.
Edit: oh wait I bought Grim Dawn it still fucking blows since LE was looked at as a PoE alternative
