Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

A judge ruled yesterday that Krafton improperly fired Gill in 2025, and ordered that he be restored as CEO of Unknown Worlds.

You'd hurt Krafton more if Unkown World earns enough revenue to trigger the $250 million payout. Obviously a single word from Krafton can't be trusted, but that's all the more reason to hit them with this. I'm all for not giving money to a shitty company. But the payout was the whole reason they tried to pull this hostile takeover shit in the first place. If Krafton doesn't end up having to pay that money to UW, then it's a victory for them. If you really want Krafton to be punished, buy the game and make them pay, literally. If UW has all that money at the end of this, it will put them in a stronger position to not get pushed around by Krafton. Ultimately, Krafton put itself in this position because they made a deal they regretted, and tried to weasel out of it. Don't let them succeed if you hate them and love Subnautica.

How much would $250 million really hurt Krafton in comparison to the money they'd make?

In any case, I won't be giving money to Krafton because that'd mean endorsing this bullshit: https://www.pocketgamer.biz/krafton-signs-strategic-alliance-with-hanwha-aerospace-to-develop-real-world-ai-systems/

Their 2024 gross revenue was about $1.9 billion, so $250 million would be over 13% of their total annual revenue

Enough that they were willing to risk doing this to their reputation against the advice of lawyers. So I'd say pretty damn bad. But if you decide it's not where you wanna put your money, that's fair too.
