"We wanted a fresh new debacle instead!"
Edit:
Ew. Survival games benefit more than most genres from iteration, but that's better done as updates and expansions unless they make a truly qualitative leap, which I doubt will happen under their leadership. This reeks of them wanting to pump out as many full-priced titles as possible, probably with an ever-higher price tag as Subnautica becomes an established IP.
Subnautica isn't just a survival game, but a story driven game as well, and given how janky their engine was, it's not a surprise that they'd want to overhaul it from the ground up.
Their engine? It was built on Unity.
I mean their codebase more generally.
