No, I'm not. Almost all the coverage of this mentions the founders intentions to spread the bonus around at least in passing.

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/report-subnautica-2-is-delayed-potentially-costing-devs-a-250m-bonus-payout is one example.

    Your article doesn't seem to mention it but I did find one that did. They aren't "splitting" it. They said they would give some money to the employees not eligible for the bonus. It might be like a 50 dollar gift card for all we know.

    The 25 million is still going towards the employees as well, the official one in the contract (this part isn't up to the founders, they don't have control on the 25 mil).

    I'm not sure what difference that makes towards what I'm saying? We dont know if the game is half baked or not. The courts can decide, but at least, we get a game with more content.
