Is it ethical to buy Subnautica 2, now that it is released in early access? (store.steampowered.com)

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?

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

Yea. A singleplayer/coop game doesnt need preorder cosmetics. Thats also ridiculous.

A dev was commenting on pirating. How are they are oblivious to why people would want to pirate when the first thing you get hit with when you open the game is a bullshit EULA?
