They are still releasing it in early access it seems, they are just delaying it.

The team is still getting paid their bonus, and they have more time to implement more things before the early access release from what I understand.

I kind of prefer my games delayed. Maybe its ready to leave now and the delay is a big scam but all im seeing is less pressure on the team making it and more content. For the rest, they can figure it out in court.

That’s the thing tho, they said they would honor the bonus for every employee except those three. Granted the three were getting the lionshare of the bonus, almost all of it, so the publisher is still saving money but they aren’t screwing over the actual people making the game in regards to this.

We get a delayed release with more content which is usually a good thing imo. Worse case scenario is three dudes getting screwed out of half of their 500$ million paycheck. Just pointing out that it isn’t a bad situation per say for consumers. If the game was lacking, we are being done a favor.

I’m certain there are clauses that demand a certain level of content and quality.

We currently don’t know which party is acting in bad faith. The publishers could be delaying to avoid the payout or the 3 founders could be rushing to get the payout. It’s true that a shit half baked game would ruin the series and cause damages, if there is an actual lack of content, there is justification in delaying it.

I guess we will get a clearer picture as the lawsuits draw to a close and the game is released.

The fact that it’s getting delayed to add content?

It’s a lot of money. There are huge incentives on both sides to do the wrong thing (either delay a finished game or push out something half baked).

That being said, the current course of action, regardless of justification, is actually going to get us a better game in the end. So there is a sunny side to it for the consumer, which is kind of really rare when you think about it.

I would also love to hear from other workers.

So from what I understand. That 250$ million bonus to “employees” was almost all going to like 3 people. The smaller bonus that was going to actual employees, they said they would honor it anyways.

I’m happy those three founders gave us the first subnautica, but I’d rather a better game on release then something rushed so they get a payday (they also already got paid when they sold their company in any case).

Really hard to say who is in the right without having gameplay footage or real details, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it does need more time and it was going to come out as a mess.

She is snitching on the wrong people.

It’s kind of a valid question to ask as well. I don’t know if I want to date someone that makes bio weapons for a living.

He is about to do something massively unpopular that is going to cause a huge amount of protesting. We are approaching the end game I guess.

If on mobile, try setting it to desktop mode. Also, getting the chameleon extension and pretending you are using chrome can also help.

Ya I agree, it is a bit problematic.

Calling an llm an AI isnt saying it’s super intelligent and I don’t know of any company that it is marketing it like that. There aren’t multiple definitions of AI depending on the industry you are in.

Just read the wiki, it is pretty clear. Something does not have to be “intelligent” to be considered AI, just like a shooting star isn’t actually a star. Its an umbrella term that holds many things including video game pathfinding, llms, recommendation systems, autonomous driving solutions, etc.

“Video games are dangerous.”

Bad faith comparison.

The reason we can argue for banning guns and not hammers is specifically because guns are meant to hurt people. That’s literally their only use. Hammers have a variety of uses and hurting people is definitely not the primary one.

AI is a tool, not a weapon. This is kind of melodramatic.

AI is an umbrella term that holds many thing. We have been referring to simple path finding algorithms in video games as AI for two decades, llms are AIs.

The comment was bullshit in the first place and the fact that it wasn’t AI was already pointed out. I am fucking tired of the slop police so maybe I’m being a bit too intense about it.

Maybe I misunderstood and he was agreeing with me that he didn’t read the comments, but it just didn’t come off that way to me.

AI has a pretty clear definition. What you mean to say is that it isn’t intelligent but that doesn’t make it not AI. Like how a shooting star isn’t actually a star.
