Subnautica 2 Founders Sue Krafton Over $250 Million Dispute
The leadership team behind Subnautica 2, including game director Charlie Cleveland and co-founders Max McGuire and Ted Gill, have filed a lawsuit against Krafton following their abrupt removal from Unknown Worlds and the subsequent delay of the game. Krafton alleges that the former executives abandoned their development responsibilities, focusing on other projects instead, and reserved 90% of a $250 million earnout for themselves, claims which Cleveland vehemently denies, affirming their commitment to sharing profits with the team. The dispute has caused significant backlash from the gaming community, who are rallying behind the ousted leaders and criticizing Krafton's handling of the situation. Krafton maintains that the delay and leadership change were necessary due to project abandonment and subpar Early Access content, while the fired executives insist the game is ready for release. Both sides have made public statements accusing each other of misconduct, turning the conflict into a highly public and contentious legal battle. Fans await further details as the lawsuit progresses, with Cleveland promising to keep them informed.
