>Developer Unknown Worlds has shared a letter asking for patience from Subnautica fans after publisher Krafton announced the departure of its senior leadership—including studio co-founder Max McGuire—and the installation of Dead Space producer and Striking Distance (The Callisto Protocol) CEO, Steve Papoutsis, as the new studio head.

>The news prompted a backlash from fans, including a popular post calling for a boycott of the upcoming Subnautica 2 on the PC gaming subreddit. We don't know what prompted the removal of Unknown Worlds designer/director Charlie Cleveland, CEO Ted Gill, and co-founder Max McGuire.

>Beneath the boilerplate language of Krafton's original announcement are references to "development momentum," as well as the publisher's "milestones" and "development metrics." Boycott post author PeterRockLife cites this as a main concern, interpreting it as Krafton punishing developers who were taking their time.

What do you mean by "archiving" the links? Is there some format I should be posting them in?

>>714644058 (OP)
Segueing.

>>714647141
archive.is archive.org
save a snapshot don't link to original source, deny them the revenue so they can died becuse they hate gamers and we hate them

Do people think Subnautica 2 is going to be good either way?

I've hated this faggot ever since he did a bunch of cringy interviews for Dead Space 2 where he tried to act like a total tough guy. He's as bad as Randy Pitchford or Cliffy B.

>>714644058 (OP)
These fuckers killed their own games with virtue signaling. They deserve no mercy.

>>714648108
I don't. Subnautica 1 always felt like an accident and Batman & Mr. Freeze: Subzero sort of reinforced that.

>>714648308
>THAT'S the reason?"
why not? It's a decision made by literal corporate woke reaction culture to "current thing" both in game and irl, it's great

>>714648530
I appreciate the bare minimum effort to contextualize it in universe. We barely even get that usually.

>>714648530
I taught a 10 year old how to shoot a handgun today. Fuck those devs.

>retarded lead dev cannot stop being a retarded twitter politicalfag
>ruins his sequel because of it
>just fucking dips before subnautica 2
good riddence

>>714648678
How did being terminally online ruin his sequel? Did he just post all day instead of actually doing his job?

>>714644058 (OP)
It was never going to be good, lightning doesn't strike twice and below zero proved it
I don't even care if it gets axed forever

>>714648308
When they dropped their sound dude for stupid reasons, and made that subpar sequel it made me think they might have lost their groove. If the dropped people make something big, I'll still cheer for them.

>>714648530
Ironic stupid is still stupid.

>>714648676
The game works better without guns. It's still trivially easy. I don't get the complaint at all.

>>714648976
Not including guns isn't the problem. Being weird political freaks about it is. It's also why they torched their sound guy, who was actually pretty important in getting the atmosphere of 1 right.

>>714648772
he began going full unhinged libshit and began doing ideological purity tests on his staff. This resulted in the main composer being sacked (which is why below zero's soundtrack sucked). He also fired some other guys for tweets they liked online and this caused other core devs to leave due to his behavior

>>714649168
Ah so he went full "It's called being a decent human being?!"-tier
