Nooooooooooooooo I was literally just talking about being excited for this game.

DicJacobus, do games w Pop it in your calendars

I never cared for Subnautica I also never cared for PUBG

But what little I know about PUBG, What I’ve seen them do to Subnautica 2, and that lazy AI ridden “Sims killer” Inzoi, Im of the opinion Krafton are just hustlers.

The original Subnautica is worth playing, it’s a fantastic game with an interesting world, intriguing story, and actually fun gameplay and vehicles. The vehicles themselves are extremely fun, too.

Baguette,

Original subnautica is amazing. I’ve played it twice which is a really high bar for me cause I rarely replay story driven games

Below zero isn’t bad either, I enjoyed it but it doesn’t come close to my first playthrough of subnautica

Jakeroxs,

The Ai features in Inzoi are pretty nifty tho, generating any texture for clothing in-game with only a prompt is insanely cool.

DicJacobus,

the creation in the game is advanced, its the gameplay inbetween the character creator and house designer that I find to be hollow

DicJacobus,

I wasn’t dunking on the game, I only said I didnt play it, and otherwise, anything in the present that Krafton is associated with seems like something to avoid

Jakeroxs,

It’s cool! No worries, just want to point out when an actually good use for Gen Ai is put in place :P

Set your stopwatches for when Tango gets shafted right before releasing their next game.

Never heard of it, probably never will once I forget about this post.

Baguette, do games w Pop it in your calendars

I will wait and see how its release goes, not that I ever pre ordered a game anyways

I don’t have high hopes but I’m going to save my opinions for when it’s released

SaltySalamander,

This isn't a question of whether or not the game is good, it's a question of whether or not you want to support a publisher that will resort to these types of tactics. Guess it depends on your brand of morality.

Baguette,

The dev bonus payout is still unconfirmed and is a rumor until of course either an insider confirms it or it gets confirmed at the end of 2025, when the payout is supposed to happen. Who knows exactly how true it will be, hence why I’m not basing my opinion on it just yet. Could end up being moved to a different date, could end up being true. I just dislike immediately raising pitchforks just because a terrible thing supposedly may happen. I have enough patience to wait and see what the future holds.

Yea the founders getting ousted is a bit of a sour taste. I just have less sympathy for them since they were also the ones who sold the company in the first place.

Didn’t even know what it was

CocaineShrimp, do games w Pop it in your calendars

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.

TachyonTele,

No. That's taking the money and run.
If they sold out they'd still be on the dev team, making micro transactions for the corpo.

ceenote,

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

papertowels, do games w The Steam controller was ahead of its time

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

papertowels,

I think I remember the dual thumb, but I just remember being amazed at how responsive it was

Yamanashi, do games w Pop it in your calendars

Seems like there is a plot twist to this story no one is mentioning bsky.app/profile/…/3ltmyjaecpc2w

SCmSTR,

Oh. Huh. That seems important. I wonder what they have to say in response.

abigscaryhobo,

It sucks that this is going around too. Because no matter what the “right” choice is the devs are still gonna have to see what should have just been their fun project get thrown around in gaming politic hell

buttnugget,

I’m sure there’s some truth in there, but it is hard to believe it entirely. This is what you get for unnecessarily selling your company.

vane,
floquant,

Ah shit, is this ZA/UM all over again?

Ashtear,

Everyone seems to be more interested in the latest techbro feud so I wanted to highlight what he said about Unknown Worlds staff not being given specifics on what their compensation will be. The statement was quite nebulous on that.

Gods, I hate this culture. Make concrete, public promises to your staff to follow through on your acquisition deal? Nah, can’t have that. Open yourself up to liability by throwing the former execs under the bus, in detail? No problem!

SaharaMaleikuhm, do games w Pop it in your calendars

Ok, no problem.

nul9o9, (edited ) do games w Pop it in your calendars

Pirate all Krafton games.

Edit. Apparently there’s more to the story.

Tattorack, do games w Pop it in your calendars
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Well… Piracy it is, then.

swordgeek,

Probably not really feasible - it will require constant connection to a back-end server to play or some bullshit like that.

But even if you can, that’s not the answer. The proper action is to deny them entirely. Don’t play the game, don’t play PUBG, don’t do anything that expands their reach, money or not.

They need to suffer with NOBODY playing this game. They need to suffer by people deleting their Battlegrounds accounts. Software piracy is what makes games legendary.

duchess,

Or do the boycott right and don’t play the game at all.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll just watch some let’s plays on YouTube

DeathByBigSad, (edited )

I mean, does anyone above age 18 even have any energy at all?

I’ve watched more gameplay than my total gametime combined, its more relaxing and for horror games for example, its less stress on the heart.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod, (edited )
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

I only got into subnautica because Markiplier was so funny screaming in the videos

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Doing the boycott “right” means not paying money. Corpos think each pirated copy is a loss. That’s how they explain it to their investors too:

“Look at all this money we’re not making because of those damn dirty pirates!”

duchess,

That’s not what they think, that’s just how their law lackeys justify horrendous fines. Their market analysts will still see the „talk“ about the game, by people who played, legally or not.

Bosht, do games w Pop it in your calendars

Oh fucking god dammit. I was really looking forward to it too.

UberKitten, do games w Pop it in your calendars

they did such a bad job on Below Zero, this could be a turn for the better for the series. though if there are microtransactions that would kill it.

berty,

Below Zero wasn’t a bad game.

mechoman444, do games w Pop it in your calendars

O no!!! I didn’t even buy subnautica one!!!
