Earlier this year, publisher Krafton was accused of ignoring a court order by announcing to staff that the game was releasing in May, despite such a decision seemingly being the responsibility of the newly reinstated CEO Ted Gill.
Gill is the first person named as part of “the three”.
Personally - I’m not buying the game. Krafton still owns the studio, and they’ve done nothing to make the situation better. Court mandated remediations aside, krafton tried to abuse these devs and steal what they were owed. They’re still working under a hostile parent company and likely will become a skeleton crew in no time.
Best case scenario unknown worlds can use the money to split themselves into a new studio.
OK I didn’t see the article mention that. Only that they leaders were fired, and everybody lost the bonus.
I guess it ended OK then?
It does mention:

It’s sad the the gaming industry so often turn toxic. 😒
the game has to sell at least 3M copies for the devs to get the $250M tho
AFAIK this is not true. The bonus is just capped. But every dollar spent is increasing their bonus until they have sold 3M copies.
