You know that personal film project they claimed one of the founders was distracted by? It was a Subnautica film they asked him to make.

    I mean, both things can be true. Krafton might be trying to weasel out of paying that bonus, and the game might not be ready like it should be.

      This story comes alongside numerous reports from the dev team that said the team felt it was ready. Plus it was only supposed to launch into early access.

        And the dev team for Cities Skylines II kept saying the team felt it was ready, while it was a hot mess. They have an interest in publishing it now.

        Launching into early access while not being up to certain standard could hurt the brand.

        Now maybe the game was ready and it’s all Krafton’s fault. All I’m saying is that it is absolutely possible that the game isnt ready.

        They still both “could” be true. Though more likely something else was a foot. Maybe the earnings target was set poorly such that the payout was more than the increased earnings. You would think in general that such a clause would be mutually beneficial, but clearly one side didn’t think so.
