Publishers are cancer. Self publish whenever possible !

You should get a publisher if:

You want to make one game then get fired

You want your work to be bastardized by the publisher in the future

You want countless hours of overtime/crunch and no compensation

You want to be another disposable cog in the machine

If that doesn't sound like something you want, self-publish.

Oooh, there's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

$250M PLUS legal costs PLUS $250M in punitive fees. That should hurt them a bit.

I will support this by continuing to be apathetic toward (and in fact ignorant of) the game known as Subnautica 2.

Yar har fiddle dee dee

i never bought 1. But also the story behind 2 feels like ksp2.

I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)

Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought 'Well I'll be damned.'

Natural Selection and then Natural Selection 2 - no games or communities like it. Before there time both of them and very much under appreciated. Felt like NS2 never really found it's rhythm but Unknown World kept it going longer than most games.

Pirate all Krafton games.

Edit. Apparently there's more to the story.

Companies only answer to profit and unfortunately we get to see the results. Can't have those proles making 250 million dollars now. That would eat into the profits of our shareholders.

I feel like I learn more about what I shouldn't play then what games I should play when I am on here.

I feel like I’m the only person on the planet who thought Subnautica was boring and tedious. It was definitely not for me

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.
