Charlie Cleveland, co-founder of Subnautica 2 studio Unknown Worlds, expressed disappointment over being ousted from the company they started.
Krafton's decision to replace the leadership team, including Cleveland, was perceived as a shock by the community.
Krafton's statement reassured the community about the game's structure, confirming no plans for microtransactions, loot boxes, subscriptions, or battle passes.
Former Striking Distance CEO, Steve Papoutsis, has been appointed as the new CEO of Unknown Worlds, succeeding the previous leadership team.
