Krafton faces a lawsuit from the former leaders of Subnautica 2 concerning management missteps and financial disputes. Studio co-founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire, along with former CEO Ted Gill, initiated legal action in response to Krafton's comments regarding their alleged abandonment of responsibilities. The lawsuit follows Krafton's decision to delay the game, potentially impacting a significant $250 million bonus tied to performance metrics. Cleveland emphasized the importance of the Subnautica franchise to him and his dedication to the development team, rejecting claims about selfish intentions regarding the bonus.
"We've now filed a lawsuit against Krafton: the details should eventually become (at least mostly) public. You all deserve the full story. Suing a multi-billion dollar company in a painful, public, and possibly protracted way was certainly not on my bucket list. But this needs to be made right. Subnautica has been my life's work and I would never willingly abandon it or the amazing team that has poured their hearts into it."
"As for the earnout, the idea that our intention was to keep the bonus for ourselves is unfounded. That bonus is tied to performance metrics that we have championed in the development of Subnautica 2."
