In a wild turn for the Subnautica 2 lawsuit, a judge orders Krafton to restore fired Unknown Worlds CEO and gives them 9 more months to earn $250 million bonus

A judge has ruled in favor of former CEO Ted Gill, ordering his reinstatement at Unknown Worlds, the studio behind Subnautica 2, after Krafton breached the Equity Purchase Agreement by terminating key employees without just cause. The ruling emphasized that Krafton's actions were motivated by a desire to avoid a 0 million earnout, now extended to at least September 15, 2026. The judge stated that Krafton sought justification for the terminations after the fact, which is deemed unacceptable. While Gill is reinstated, the court did not restore co-founder Max McGuire and designer Charlie Cleveland, leaving their return to Gill's discretion. Krafton is considering whether to appeal the ruling and acknowledged that it does not resolve the former executives’ claims for damages or the earnout. Krafton also reported that CEO Kim Chang-han earned over 8 billion won (approximately .4 million) in compensation.

I desperately want the Just Cause creator’s new open-city game to be great, but I’m not convinced by its latest trailer

The gaming community has been seeking an engaging open-world experience similar to those from the Xbox 360 era, particularly with the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6. Samson, an open-world game developed by Liquid Swords and created by Cristofer Sundberg, features a protagonist named Samson who returns to his hometown of Tyndalston to settle a significant debt using various methods. The gameplay requires players to meet a daily cash quota to manage debt interest, incorporating an "action points" mechanic that limits mission availability. The game showcases a gritty aesthetic with muscle cars but has received mixed reactions due to concerns about repetitive combat mechanics and sparsely populated environments. A notable moment in the gameplay trailer features Samson throwing a wrench at an enemy with a humorous quip. Samson is set to launch on April 8, and there is hope for its success despite the current work-in-progress feel of the trailer.
