Unfortunately for video game publisher \u201cKrafton\u201d, the world\u2019s-best-cheerleader will instead gently tell you that your intention to break an air-tight contract without illegally breaching it will be difficult, and then give you a plan to try anyway. Team of lawyers screaming \u201cplease god stop\u201d be damned. The plan worked great, right up until it hit a judge. Developer \u201cUnknown Worlds\u201d, creator of the hit game \u201cSubnautica\u201d just won a substantial victory for breach of contract against Krafton, securing the reinstatement of their own CEO, and probably a massive bonus in the process. In part 1, Jenessa walks us through the story of how Unknown Worlds was formed, why they sold to Krafton, the terms of the contract, how the relationship went south, and why \u201cSubnautica 2\u201d got delayed. Tune in to part 2 to hear how the lawsuit was decided.   Fortis v Krafton, C.A. No. 2025-0805-LWW (Del. Ch. 2026).   Fortis Advisors   Weisdorfer, E. (2024).
