After filing a lawsuit against Krafton, Charlie Cleveland, Max McGuire, and Ted Gill are now being sued by their former employer for purportedly making off with reams of confidential information including business records, intellectual property, and more.
I’m really sad to watch this slow-motion train crash continue to play out. Subnautica 2 was a guaranteed hit thanks to the strength of the first game, and somehow the new studio owners have completely fucked that to pieces. Truly a masterclass in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
But why sell out? They had a guaranteed hit on their hands why did they need to sell the IP to a publisher and not just any publisher but one with a history of ruining good projects.
This is why you don’t sell out to
alterakrafton.Almost feels like an elaborate (and nerdy) satirical skit of some sort.
I’m sad to see it happen to Last Epoch too. Both great games, both Krafton owned now. Truly sad…
