'It's going to be extremely hard to repair the relationship:' The Subnautica 2 legal dispute is far from over
A legal battle between Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds and its owner Krafton continues following a court ruling that reinstated former CEO Ted Gill. The dispute centers on allegations that Krafton delayed the game's early access release to avoid a $250 million payout, while Krafton countersued claiming intellectual property theft. The court found Krafton illegally fired Gill, but the case is split into two parts to determine damages and the earnout obligation.
