Subnautica 2’s botched bonus deal is about to wipe out more than one-third of Krafton’s $736 million annual profit for 2025

Krafton promised a substantial bonus to Unknown Worlds' principals—Ted Gill, Max McGuire, and Charlie Cleveland—following their acquisition in 2021, with a payout structure of .12 for every dollar earned once monthly revenues exceeded .8 million, capped at 0 million. Subnautica 2 sold four million copies in its first week and received a "very positive" rating on Steam. In 2025, Krafton dismissed the executives, alleging they rushed the game's release, but court proceedings revealed Krafton had approved their strategy. Krafton reported an operating profit of 1.1 trillion Korean won (approximately 6 million) for 2025, raising concerns that the bonus could consume over a third of its annual profits.

Your PC’s trust in Windows has an expiration date

Microsoft will change Secure Boot certificates in June 2026, impacting Windows 11 PCs. If users do not update the certificates, their PCs may still function but will lack critical boot updates and malware blacklists, potentially compromising security. Without the new certificates, systems cannot run the latest Windows Boot Manager, making them vulnerable to bootkit malware and hindering future Windows feature updates. Older computers using BIOS are exempt from this issue. The new Secure Boot certificates are valid until 2038. Users can check their Secure Boot status in the Windows Security app; a green circle indicates readiness for the deadline.
