If you like posting picture of fishes, did you try Subnautica ?

Little typo on the code of last image.

Other than that, great read, as always.

From what I’ve read, that bonus isn’t tied to a specific release, but to an earning target.

Not being able to get to that target is tied to the fact that Subnautica 2 EA should have been a huge cash influx, which now isn’t possible due to the delay, and the only remaining way would have been either a sudden renewed Subnautica 1 and BZ success or for the mobile version to be a incredible success, which I doubt.

Releasing the EA wouldn’t be an “I win button” from UW. It could go both way. Either the current state is enough for user to buy it, and not refund it, or it will be a resounding failure, with huge refund percentages. In the first case, this may allow UW to get to that target, but in the second case, it may in the worst case make the studio go under before Subnautica had any chance to be released completed

Krafton says that the game isn’t yet worthy of EA. Ousted led dev says that it is. Someone is probably lying here. Only way to put an end to that is to lanch the EA this year, for us to juge if it is enough content or not.

I would not ignore if Krafton do betray UW employees. But I also take into account that for now it is word for word, and depending on which side you believe, both sides can be sided with.

If the three ousted exec did abandon their responsibility as Krafton said, their dismissal is justified. If not and that’s a way to not pay the promissed bonus, then a boycot is justified.

There isn’t many way to know, other than releasing the EA now. Like that the customer can have and idea of the true state of the game, without having to base its opinion on a bandwagon.

I understand what kind of analogy you want to bring, but that’d be both a false equivalence, as wall as an appeal to pity.

You are trying to portray a black and white picture about a situation we all know little about. It’s word for word, and in such case it be hard to give more credits to either party.

I heard that there is a lawsuit brewing, maybe this will give us more objective informations.

In the meantime, the only way to see if either the founders or Krafton vision would be the best would be to release the EA, even with the lack of content Krafton is complaining about. Like that we would be able to make our own conclusion.

Could you explain the link between both subject ?

I would partially agree. No cloth can protect you from strong wind. In such case, I work from home 😅.

But that’s like… once or twice a year.

In which case we’ll juge in the final product if the choices the leadership, previous or current, were the right one or not.

All we have currently are some images, some first hand infos, and a lot of speculations.

Well, that’s exactly what I do since last year. I use an electric bike (converted from a mechanical one), and if it takes time, it is actually faster than taking my car (40 minutes vs 1h+).
And I do it even in the winter, when we get bellow zero temperatures. I just dresses warmly.

Edit : The bike (Le Petit Porteur Longtail, wasn’t yet electrified at the time of this picture)

LW is hosted in Germany, and as it proxies youtube thumbnails, youtube serve him the german version 😅. It is a known issue.

Honestly I liked a lot Subnautica 1, and despite the leadership change, still look forward to Subnautica 2. Better juge on the product than on internet dramas.

My cat once made himself my purring scarf once, when I had a bad flu.

The gray fur may commes from a Russian Blue, while still being considered a “domestic shorthair”. That race is just a way for a vet to say “I have no idea”, due to not corresponding to all the race traits, without looking like a fool. 😂

Mine was one too, here is a picture near his litter sister.

Both are domestic shorthair, but from different fathers.

You may also like Coffee Talk (1 and 2). Good story, the characters are likable, and it works with controllers, so you can play it on the go with a Deck or anything similar.

Sky is a really good cozy game. And it is also available on PC, and works perfectly on the Steam Deck (with HDR).

Hold my cat, I’m going in! Or out, I don’t know…

Hum…
