  Damn, I used to play Natural Selection 24/7, Charlie & Max are legends to me. What a shitshow.

  Fuck. I had such high hopes for Subnautica 2, but now that they put crunch-friendly executives in, I’m 1) much less hopeful that it’ll be a work of art and 2) if it is, much less happy to support it if it’s done with intentionally unhealthy work environments

    Same. Fuck greedy publishers/IP holders. I want to see more Subnautica, but also want to ignore anything krafton touches.

    Apropos the setting, I think the high seas is the way to accomplish both, but i fear that will just result in the studio going dark altogether.

    Unknown Worlds has done good work, but will probably be yet another casualty of greedy leadership.

      Hey… They have a public contact page that looks like it would be taken somewhat seriously, as it feels legal in nature. I’ll be letting them know that their leadership is engaging in unfair deals shortly. Anyone want to join in?

      Worst case, we get ignored. Best is that they take notice that the audience they bought isn’t theirs blindly.
