Comment on Last Epoch developer Eleventh Hour Games gets acquired by KRAFTON
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 day agoMaybe 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.
