Following Krafton's statements, the fired leads sued the company for damages, emphasizing the need to set things right and clarifying intentions to share profits with the team.
Despite Krafton's accusations, the leads disputed claims of greed, highlighting their commitment to profit-sharing with the team and their desire to continue working on Subnautica.
