"Krafton announced that it had fired Unknown Worlds founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, as well as Chief Executive Officer Ted Gill." Welp, Unknown Worlds is fucking dead without Charlie. Another amazing studio with institutional memory gutted by Capital. Fucking boycott Subnautica 2 😤
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · last yr.BREAKING: Krafton has delayed the highly anticipated game Subnautica 2 to 2026, potentially costing the development team a $250 million bonus.
