Subnautica 2 has recently launched, and while the overwhelming majority of players are enthusiastically engaging with and purchasing the game, a subset has resorted to unauthorized means of access. In response to this, the game’s lead designer has voiced his discontent with the blatant nature of these pirate activities.
The lead designer shared his perspective, stating, “I cannot condone piracy, but I get why people do.” This sentiment highlights a complex view on the issue, acknowledging the reasons behind such actions while still condemning the practice itself. He further described the instances of piracy as ‘flagrant,’ indicating a significant and overt disregard for intellectual property rights.
