Fans of Subnautica are calling for a boycott of Subnautica 2 due to issues related to Unknown Worlds' leadership departures and an alleged $250 million bonus at stake.
Unknown Worlds' team was reportedly promised a share of a $250 million bonus if financial goals were met in 2025, potentially linked to Subnautica 2's early-access release.
A Reddit post suggests that the perceived delay of Subnautica 2 might be a strategy to avoid paying out the promised bonuses, sparking significant community backlash online.
Krafton, the parent company, has not provided comments on the situation following inquiries from press outlets like GameSpot.
