Went from an "instant buy" to a "never purchase on principle". Such a shame.
I'm wondering if the first one needs to go from a game I recommend highly (or upvote recommendations of if I'm too late) to one I no longer acknowledge because the same assholes probably get paid from each of those sales, too.
No. The first one was and still is a masterpiece, and it was made before Krafton ever got involved. If anything the contrast between Subnautica's while success and 2's abysmal failure would only emphasize how much Krafton sucks.
Don't get me wrong, the original is still one of my candidates for best game ever. But if someone buys it today, who gets paid?
