Subnautica 2 released today in early access.

Game was mostly ready before the original devs were fired to get out of paying them what they were owed.

Original Devs seem to be winning in court, but it is an ongoing legal battle.

I was thinking to boycott but now I'm less sure. What are your thoughts?

If they want analytics, it should be an opt-in.

Man gaming is in a sorry fucking state.

It shouldn't be calling home at all. And why the fuck does any game like this need anti-cheat?!

Eh, whatever, it's UE5 underperforming shit anyway. Sorry to the developers who spent time on this, I guess management fucked it for you. I don't know how much was Krafton or just some out of touch managers, but man does it suck.

I don't know about this one but sometimes single player /co-op games utilise anti cheat to make sure players don't use tools to unlock pre order bonus cosmetics they are not eligible for which really is as stupid as it gets. Legitimate buyers get spyware and decreased performance and pirates get the better experience

I don't think it has anti-cheat. But that doesn't mean that the company has no cooperations with anti-cheat providers.
