Me when I contact IT and tell them yes I restarted and followed any instructions I could but computer still angry and IT says they are escalating this because it is an actual issue: I am getting a good grade in service desk ticket. Something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.

Oh my dearest hero, how tortured you are. Maybe from your point of view, you're having your big and exciting and thematic coming of age story. Where in the present maybe you're struggling to perform masculinity, but you'll inevitably "grow up" and become a man. But from where I'm sitting on my demon throne, you know you could just, like, not?

I mean, I can see you struggling. You see how your peers insist their masculinity is intrinsic and easy. It fits on them like well fitted clothing, where on you it chafes and itches around the edges. Are you sure your pants are supposed to sit there? And of course they punish you for it. Oh how they punish you for it.

You know, the idea of growing up has always had a kind of violence in it, hasn't it? An assertion against this you, for the good of all. That you will be destroyed, that you must be destroyed. What do I represent, then? Look at me.

Their teasing and needling. Ribbing and prodding. Joking and bullying. They sense an outsider amongst them. A sheep with the wolves. You're not playing the game, so you have to be eliminated. Or maybe you'll do what they all want you to do and find your way. Figure out that thing they all have that you don't. "Grow up." Cut off the smooth edges.

Are you content to be their vessel? To tell their story and to bear their sins? A life of trying and failing and being punished for your failures? You already proved you needed to try. That this wasn't natural to you. And the was enough to mark you a failure. They'll never let that go.

So, let's tell a new story. The two of us. My story. I can tell you what you are, and you can listen and you can be like me. Join me. Reject their story of what you are. Theirs is so obviously a lie, and I'm a much better storyteller than they could ever be. Plus, you've always wanted to feel pretty, haven't you? All the best heel turns come with outfit changes.

So. For those of you who didn't pay attention to the details of the legal spat between Krafton and Unknown Worlds, allow me to give you some details of the finest legal comedy of a generation.

Krafton CEO looks at the hype surrounding Subnautica 2, goes over the contract between Krafton and Unknown Worlds, realizes he'll have to pay out bonuses and freaks out because shelling out those bonuses will make him look like a pushover.

CEO goes to his legal department, asks them to come up with a plan to weasel out of paying bonuses. Legal tells him the contract is iron-clad and to accept the loss.

CEO refuses to take the loss, asks ChatGPT for a plan. ChatGPT says the exact same thing the legal department did.

CEO demands a plan from ChatGPT, which dutifully spits out a plan at this point because clearly the CEO is a goddamn idiot.

CEO deletes the chat logs, failing to understand that 'delete' doesn't permanently remove things.

CEO follows plan, and is surprised when Unknown Worlds sues for breach of contract despite being told by both humans and an LLM that is exactly what would happen.

Court does not go well for Krafton's legal department. It comes out that after ignoring the sound legal advice of human beings, the CEO went to ChatGPT and asked for a plan. When asked for the logs by the court, Krafton's legal team states they were deleted, thus that it's simply herersay. Judge goes "Oh, that's okay, we'll have our IT folks recover them." Krafton's legal team is astounded that's even possible.

The chat logs are recovered. It comes out that even ChatGPT was in agreement with Krafton's legal department, and only spat out a plan after being asked a second time.

The judge, now thoroughly done with the stupidity of Krafton's CEO at this point, rules in favor of Unknown Worlds. Her ruling doesn't simply undo the scheme, but effectively leaves all control over Subnautica 2's development in the hands of Unknown Worlds, including the early access release date, reducing Krafton to just publishing out of contractual obligation. Krafton must also return all social media platforms for Unknown Worlds and Subnautica 2 to Unknown Worlds' control. Financial damages will be determined at a later date.

Krafton proceeds to violate the court order in less than 72 hours by trying to set an early access release date before returning Unknown Worlds' social media platforms.

Summary: In trying not to look like a pushover, Krafton's CEO now looks like a complete idiot who's going to have to fork over bonuses, plus court-mandated damages, plus whatever comes out of violating the court's orders. Krafton's legal department may as well come to court dressed as clowns after this. I suspect Unknown Worlds might buy the rights to Subnautica back after all this and either relegate Krafton to just publishing or find a different publisher for future games altogether.
