Instead of admiring the new footage, fans are laser-focused on the apparently forced exits of Unknown Worlds' leadership team and a subsequent report that Subnautica 2's delay may cause the Unknown Worlds team to lose out on a promised $250 million bonus. That's why some players are calling for a boycott of Subnautica 2.
As originally reported by Bloomberg, Unknown Worlds' entire team was reportedly going to receive a share of a $250 million bonus if the company hit its financial goals in 2025.
