Expedition 33 is the only game on the list that isn’t a sequel or derivative of a previous IP so it’s got originality going for it :>

5·3 hours agoI mean it’s pretty obvious they are. The original reason Krafton gave for firing the founders was that Subnautica 2 was being pushed out before it was ready just so the founders could get their bonuses.
Krafton has since dropped those arguments in the legal fillings and changed their reason for firing them to some nebulous shit like:
“abandoned their posts” and “deceived” their employer.
I mean come on. This isn’t even a both sides issue anymore.
Latest developments makes it seem like Krafton just wanted to save the cash to plow into their lame AI venture.
I mean honestly, when has a video game company actually been on the right side when things came to a head with the founders?
“The termination notices of the founders gave one reason for their termination,” said Fortis, “and that was the supposed lack of readiness of Subanutica 2 for release. Krafton reiterated that basis for its actions repeatedly.”
Fortis called it a “seismic shift in the case” and “a little bit bewildering”. This was also echoed by the judge, Lori W. Will, when the parties met for a ruling on the filed motions, saying: “Well, that’s something that we definitely need to get to the bottom of today, because that is precisely what was cited as the reason in the answer.”
Krafton’s representatives were not clear about why this argument has been taken off the table, only that it has been, and that it’s no longer why they are saying the founders were terminated.
Instead, Krafton is focusing on the argument that the founders “abandoned their posts” and “deceived” their employer. Causing more confusion is the accusation that the founders downloaded files and kept devices with confidential information on them. This only came to light after the termination, so its relevance has been questioned.
Shortly after came this announcement 🙄
Nothing about PUBG and Subnautica 2 publisher Krafton’s recent decision to become an “AI-first company” look good. The company plans to drop over 130 billion won ($88 million) into the project, recently stopped hiring new employees, and started a voluntary resignation program for its employees in South Korea this week.
Far down the ladder from these decisions is Eleventh Hour Games, the developer behind Last Epoch, which Krafton acquired in July. The timing couldn’t have been worse as it happened right after the founders of Subnautica developer Unknown Worlds were unceremoniously fired for what they claim was a move to avoid paying a $250 million earnout.
Silksong, KCD 2, Hades 2, Death Stranding 2 alongside. It’s quite the lineup!
An overall really good year for gaming!! 👍
Maaaaan. Fuck Krafton.
Impressive list of nominees except for Donkey Kong Bananza?! that just looks so out of place. But it’s gotta be Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 all the way for GOTY.
Think it’s going for a Titanic level sweep here
6·10 days agoThank you for the summary!
6·13 days agoHow does a company exercise “creative control” when there is no discernable creativity to be seen?
2·25 days agoIt’s a spammer bro.
This post is spam guys. Account literally made 2 hours ago and posts nonsense with a disguised link attached.
Goes without saying but you probably shouldn’t click this dude’s link
Ohhhh so this is what they stole the Subnautica devs bonus for.
11·25 days agoWhat I remember isn’t so much the gameplay but the quality of the writing, voice acting, and world building. Thief 1 & 2 were bonkers amazing in that regard! I wish they had more games set in that universe.
Here’s a sample of what’s waiting if anyone wants a taste of the amazing dialogue:
Definitely a bit of title gore here

203·28 days agoThey seem to help kids solve mysteries by encouraging them to read and write. Not sure what the split on that is though

2·1 month agoHe don’t care. People have tried to engage him in conversation on this and he just ducks any attempt to get him to explain his rationale for being annoying.
He’s just a snowflake trying to validate himself by forcing a social media trend. It’s pretty cringe.
It’s getting made into a movie already so you can probably wait for that worst case :>
