It's probably my reading skills, but I legit can't tell if you're disagreeing. You're saying you're glad that everything doesn't interact, right?

Update from the author:
Which is why I encourage everyone to mod a community, be it or on another Lemmy instance!
I wasn't banned, I just came here because of their API changes like many others. I always bring up "the grass is greener where you water it," so I came here, and mod !gamedev@lemmy.world. I still view and use reddit some; it's just more popular. But I try to do my part to make the Lemmy space a little more robust.

But hey, it's not for everyone.
I gotta admit, I'm actually really curious how it will go. I don't think of myself as normally one for drama I read about on the Internet, but sometimes it gets me when artistry and money intersect. Of course usually this is gamedev and filmmaking. Sometimes music too.
The allegation is that the publisher (Krafton) delayed the game to make it more difficult for the studio (Unknown Worlds) to hit their bonus goals, at which the publisher would have to pay the developer an extra $250M. UW's leadership was recently ousted by Krafton. Subnautica's director made a post on reddit about his departure: https://www.reddit.com/r/subnautica/comments/1lryw9o/what_is_a_wave_but_a_thousand_drops/
