    They didn’t sell out. That’s a childish view.
    They made one and a half games (Subnautica and the dlc turned full release), never made the direct sequel, cut thier losses and cashed thier checks.

    If they sold out they’d still be on the dev team, making micro transactions for the corpo.

      They literally sold out. They sold the company. And, they sold it to a corporation whose portfolio is littered with microtransactions.

      cut their losses

      What losses? Were they not profitable?

      and cashed their checks

      Yeah, that’s the selling out part.

        No. That’s taking the money and run.
