Grab your popcorn because there’s waaaaaaay more courtroom drama from the Subnautica devs and Krafton. We say YAAAAAAAAAAASS to the Minecraft Live Spring 2026 Edition but we say NOOOOOOOOOOOOO to NVIDIA's DLSS5 demo.
What is Everyone Playing? (00:26:48)
This Week’s News (00:26:48)
The story so far: Krafton vs Unknow Worlds (00:41:20) https://www.gamesindustry.biz/krafton-inc-versus-subnautica-2-former-lead-developers
A court ruled that Krafton must reinstate former Unknown Worlds CEO Ted Gill and return control of the early access release of Subnautica 2.
Soon after his return, Krafton is accused of leaking a meme announcing the early access
Gill is countersuing: https://www.gamefile.news/p/subnautica-2-early-access-may-dispute
Apparently, Krafton asked Chat GPT on how to get out of paying the bonus.
