Court orders Krafton to reinstate Unknown Worlds leaders after ChatGPT-guided bid to dodge $250m earnout

A Delaware court ordered Krafton to restore control of Unknown Worlds to its leadership after Krafton attempted to oust the studio’s executives using a ChatGPT-guided plan to avoid paying an earnout of up to $250 million tied to Subnautica 2; the judge rejected Krafton’s dismissal justification, extended the earnout period, and returned governance to Unknown Worlds’ CEO Ted Gill while the dispute continues.

Krafton CEO Turned to ChatGPT for an Illegal Subnautica 2 Takeover, Court Rules

A Delaware judge ruled Krafton breached its contract with Unknown Worlds in the Subnautica 2 dispute after firing the studio’s co-founders and attempting a covert takeover. Court documents show Krafton CEO Changhan Kim consulted ChatGPT for an 'earnout takeover strategy' and a 'no-deal' plan, including messaging to fans and actions to seize Subnautica 2 on Steam. The AI-guided guidance largely shaped Krafton’s moves, which the court deemed illegal, and the judge extended the $250 million earnout period to September 15, 2026, reinstated the co-founders and Unknown Worlds’ CEO Ted Gill, and limited Krafton’s interference with the game’s early access launch.

Court orders Krafton to reinstate Subnautica 2 team, restores $250M bonus prospects

A court ruled Krafton must reinstate Unknown Worlds’ CEO Ted Gill and the fired developers with full operating authority over Unknown Worlds and Subnautica 2’s Early Access, declare the board resolution ineffective, and extend the $250 million bonus payout window, potentially restoring eligibility for the earnout as the dispute proceeds.

Josh Harris's Commanders deal includes "earnout" payment and potential boost from Snyder's removal.

Josh Harris's $6.05 billion deal to purchase the Washington Commanders from Daniel Snyder includes an "earnout," a structure that would provide Snyder with a deferred payment of an amount contingent on the franchise reaching specified financial benchmarks. The earnout represents a relatively small but perhaps meaningful portion of the overall sale price. Its inclusion in the deal explains, in part, why people familiar with the deliberations of the NFL finance committee last week described the sale agreement between Harris and Snyder as unusually complex.
