"Kim turned to artificial intelligence to help him brainstorm ways to avoid paying the earnout. ChatGPT likewise advised that it would be 'difficult to cancel the earn-out.'"
"Krafton previously argued that the founders intended to release Subnautica 2 in early access before the game was ready in order to secure their performance bonus. When pressed for proof, Krafton withdrew that assertion, and now accuses the founders of downloading files and keeping devices that had confidential info on them."
"There is a series of messages between Kim and Yoon that appear to suggest that Krafton's inability to renegotiate a lower payout for the bonus led Yoon to say "it might be easier to take over [Unknown Worlds]," than to obtain better terms."
Discovery filings allege Krafton CEO Kim Chang-han consulted artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT, to brainstorm ways to avoid a $250 million earnout tied to Subnautica 2. The founders claim Krafton refused to produce the ChatGPT conversations and asserted those conversations no longer exist. Internal messages between Kim and head of global operations Richard Yoon reportedly include a suggestion that it "might be easier to take over [Unknown Worlds]" than renegotiate the payout. Krafton revised its legal claims, withdrew an early-access assertion, and now accuses the founders of downloading confidential files and retaining devices. Krafton has declared itself an "AI-first company," while Unknown Worlds said Subnautica 2 will not feature generative AI.
