Judge delivers bombshell order for Krafton to reinstate fired Subnautica 2 devs and CEO, putting $250m bonus package back on the table
A judge has ordered Krafton to reinstate Ted Gill as CEO of Unknown Worlds and restore his full operational authority, including control over Subnautica 2's Early Access release. The ruling found Krafton breached the EPA by terminating key employees without valid cause and improperly seizing control, declaring the board resolution ineffective. Gill will regain control of Steam for Subnautica 2, and the $250 million bonus payout period for co-founders has been extended.
