Huh. I wasn’t going to buy it at all. Now, I’m not sure. Damn.

I’m torn because it would still put money in that shitty company’s pocket.

It depends, if the game never makes more than $250,000,000 in sales, then I’d say it’s good! Because the parent company had to give UW way more money than they made for them

I mean… surely they have to make more than 250,000,000 in sales to justify the original bonus being 250,000,000 in the first place.

No?

Krafton paid half a billion for Unknown Worlds. The 250 million bonus was in addition to that. Including operational costs and salaries, they need to make back almost a billion to break even.
