So did Krafton and Unknown Worlds settle out of court? Because that lawsuit was not looking good for Krafton.

 

[onQ123]

They probably just wanted to be acquired by Microsoft

No. This is part of the court order and likely only applied to Early Access unless something changes between then and full release.

The judge asked Krafton to reinstate Ted Gill and others, and give them full control over the games launch plans - including Steam Early Access. Krafton has since announced EA starting in May - without Gill knowing - and he accused them of still fucking with the project. There was a message on discord from one of the devs saying they (Unknown Worlds) will announce when EA will start.

This is far from over. The $250m payout is subject to the game's performance/revenue/etc. So expect them to keep trying to weasel their way out of this.

This must be having a huge impact on staff

The CEO of KRAFTON used ChatGPT to help him plan his criminal activities.

Krafton buys Subnautica studio for $500M
→ Promises $250M bonus if the sequel sells well
→ Sequel is about to sell really well
→ CEO panics, asks ChatGPT how to get out of it
→ GPT writes him a takeover plan called "Project X"
→ CEO ignores his lawyers and executes the plan
→ Delaware court reads his ChatGPT logs at trial
→ Judge calls it out by name in the ruling
→ CEO loses. Devs get reinstated. $250M still owed.







This is really a major set of precedence. The CEO should lose everything.

This is so dumb it's crazy. And hell, if you are going to use AI for crimes, use the incognito mode!

 

[Draugoth]

Unhinged CEO lmao

This story should really be getting more traction on here.

It's good to see some karma hitting hard, in the videogame's industry. For once.

It's crazy asf. It's lierally cyberpsichosis

 

[DenchDeckard]

I listened to someone explaining all of this a few weeks ago and its absolutely bonkers, lmao!

More eyes should be on it.

 

[apowhungo]

Insane story fuuuuck that CEO. I hope that means it releases sooner than later and not the opposite?

We got CEO's asking AI's for hostile takeover strategies. If that ain't cyberpunk, I don't know what is.
