Krafton accuses former Subnautica 2 bosses of abandoning the game in surprising new statement: ‘We feel a profound sense of betrayal by their failure to honor the trust placed in them’

The founders of Unknown Worlds, Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, along with former CEO Ted Gill, have filed a lawsuit against Krafton after the company accused them of neglecting their responsibilities, resulting in project delays for Subnautica 2. Krafton, which acquired Unknown Worlds in 2021 for 0 million plus million in performance bonuses, claims Cleveland focused on a personal film project instead of the game. Krafton has delayed the release of Subnautica 2 until 2026 due to insufficient content and has appointed Steve Papoutsis as the new CEO after dismissing the former leadership. Cleveland contends that Subnautica 2 is ready for early access, while Krafton denies that financial motivations influenced the delay.

Minecraft Creator Weighs in on Stop Killing Games Initiative

Notch, the creator of Minecraft, has expressed support for the Stop Killing Games movement, which advocates for gamers' rights to access online and live-service games they have purchased. He highlighted concerns about the current state of digital gaming, where games are often sold as licenses rather than outright ownership. Steam has introduced a warning label on purchases to clarify that users are acquiring a license, which reflects limitations on gamers' control over their purchases. The Stop Killing Games movement aims to ensure guaranteed access to digital games even after official support ends and has gained over 1.2 million signatures in the EU. While Notch supports the movement, he chose not to sign the petition to avoid aiding AAA studios, preferring to compete with better terms for users. He advocates for studios to relinquish control over servers, shifting power dynamics in favor of the gaming community. If successful in the EU, the initiative could inspire similar legislative changes elsewhere.
