Oooh, there’s a lawsuit waiting to happen.

$250M PLUS legal costs PLUS $250M in punitive fees. That should hurt them a bit.

MJKee9,

You can’t typically get punitive damages for contract disputes. Also, there is a very real possibility that the contract hasn’t been breached by the new owners’ actions. It sounds like they used their superior bargaining power to put a lot of questionable yet enforceable provisions in the contract.

thann,

Ive heard of it once where the defendant litterally wrote a book on how to use overseas buisness to pull off scams like the one he was being accused of

swordgeek,

Punitive damages can be awarded for bad-faith bargaining, which definitely seems to be the case here.

It’s a stretch perhaps, but that’s what I think would be reasonable.

MJKee9,

Typically, conduct would have to rise to the level of fraud to justify punitives in a contract based dispute. That’s a very high hurdle in most jurisdictions. Also, at that point the conduct complained of would likely be based in tort, not contract.

Aatube,

By what law?

rollerbang,

Not a lawyer but I’m guessing it would have to be proven as a justifiable delay.

Aatube,

That’s easy, just say there were features they wanted

Japanese Drift Master seems interesting. I enjoy open world racing games ever since I fell in love with Test Drive Unlimited back in the days, but I can’t vibe with Forza Horizon because of the constant “Congratulations, you just drove 5 meters in this direction! Take this awesome car for free!” wherever you go. It completely robs me of the enjoyment of progressing through the game.

Wishlisted it, I’ll probably buy it as soon as I have some free time.

i never bought 1. But also the story behind 2 feels like ksp2.

Right ?

</Anakin meme>

flandish,

No. I still need to. :/

TachyonTele,

It's a really good game and still holds it's own to this day. Highly recommend it.

If you got vr is best played that way. Best horror game on vr.

flandish,

it’s a horror game? prob will pass then. Also lemme borrow your vr for porn though. I’ll give it back.

burntbacon,

It’s horror in the sense that Bioshock was horror, but much less so. There are some areas with ‘tension’ that you pretty quickly become accustomed to, just as you would in a game where there is a ‘progression’ of areas where each area you move into is quite difficult at first until you get the resources and build the new items from that area.

flandish,

oh! that’s cool. will put it on my todo list. thanks!!

WraithGear,
@WraithGear@lemmy.world avatar

I highly recommend it on a vr device if possible, but to everyone who has played it knows, it has its moments. But its not as wrote as a run of the mill horror game, i may have given the game a disservice labeling it as such.

Outerwilds is also a must play in vr,

Die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain

ceenote,

This looks less like heroes becoming villains and more like villains (who were always villains) tricking the hero and murdering them. Unknown World’s founders and developers of the first game all got fired by the company that acquired them.

RadicalEagle,

Definitely died as heroes.

athairmor,

The founders are the villains of this piece as much as Krafton. They sold out for a big payday. This was all very predictable.

You’d have to really dense to think that Krafton is going to come along with half a billion dollars and just let things carry on as usual.

TachyonTele,

They didn't sell out. That's a childish view.
They made one and a half games (Subnautica and the dlc turned full release), never made the direct sequel, cut thier losses and cashed thier checks.

If they sold out they'd still be on the dev team, making micro transactions for the corpo.

athairmor,

They literally sold out. They sold the company. And, they sold it to a corporation whose portfolio is littered with microtransactions.

cut their losses

What losses? Were they not profitable?

and cashed their checks

Yeah, that’s the selling out part.

ceenote,

They tempted the heroes with wealth beyond measure so that by the time they stab them in the back, nobody mourns.

Jesus tapdancing christ is the subnautica fanbase rabid. How about we actually wait and see how the game turns out before we crucify everyone?

I do agree that you should definitely not pre-order it and remove it from your wishlist. But you should’ve done that already.

RvTV95XBeo,

How about we actually wait and see how the game turns out before we crucify everyone?

Why does it matter how the game turns out if the stance is “we don’t want to fund shady developers fucking over content creators”?

absquatulate,

Afaik krafton have been insisting for a while that the game is not ready. Founders disagreed and they were ousted. But seeing as the previous two games were in pretty dire state when they released into EA, I wouldn’t really trust the founder’s word on it. The whole “squirreling out of paying them 250 million” thing seems like speculation, but what do I know.

Besides, the OP is just ragebainting, because we know exactly fuckall about the game’s actual state at this point.

I thought the people fired were executives, not creatives.

Edit: I also don’t see how a boycott helps the actual people working on the game.

Yeah, I’m just going to wait and see. If it’s good, I’ll buy it, otherwise I won’t.

I feel like one of these days, some corporation will lobby the government to make piracy a felony and literally send swat team to people’s houses. That’s how dystopian the future will get. Mark my words.

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w EA Connect. How do I get in contact with a real Human?? Need Support.

Sorry I don’t have a way to help. I noticed this changed recently as well and was really frustrated by it.

Believe it or not, a decade ago, EA support was actually good. I know it sounds insane but I had the BEST customer service call with someone from the Midwest US. I was trying to get into the time trials in the game Mirrors Edge. For some reason, I was getting a weird connection error.

I spoke to this customer service rep who walked me through some bizarre steps, which seemed effectively like clearing the cache of my xbox. All the while, we just shot the shit and discussed games. It was just a casual call, she was genuinely helpful and SO efficient.

At the end of it I didn’t wana hang up the phone LOL. It was the best customer service call I’ve ever had and it kills me knowing that they axed these people at some point. It was a call that I think is rare to experience nowadays with service reps being overworked and monitored to hell and back.

Typing on this thing was a dream.

Willdrick,

Which version? The daisy wheel or the dual thumb keyboard?

I kinda miss the older circular mode, it was hard to get used to, but it was really quick and precise
