The founders are the villains of this piece as much as Krafton. They sold out for a big payday. This was all very predictable.

You’d have to really dense to think that Krafton is going to come along with half a billion dollars and just let things carry on as usual.

    They didn't sell out. That's a childish view.
    They made one and a half games (Subnautica and the dlc turned full release), never made the direct sequel, cut thier losses and cashed thier checks.

    If they sold out they'd still be on the dev team, making micro transactions for the corpo.

    They literally sold out. They sold the company. And, they sold it to a corporation whose portfolio is littered with microtransactions.

    cut their losses

    What losses? Were they not profitable?

    and cashed their checks

    Yeah, that’s the selling out part.
