    Why? The developers get the money when sales reach a certain threshhold, as far as I know it…

    • They’ll be paid either way. They make the sales, they earn the bonus. They don’t make the sales, they’ll probably be awarded the bonus plus punitive damages from the lawsuit they basicslly already won since it’s very apparent the publisher sabotaged the development of the game specifically to not have to pay the developers the bonus in their contract.

      The court is literally waiting to see what happens with the sales before deciding a verdict.

        Not sure what’s going on now, since Unknown worlds don’t list krafton as publisher anymore. This article says that the Deal meant paying 2,87 Euro for every Euro starting at 64 million Euro turnover with a maximum of 230 million.

        Anyways I’m all for support of the developers. I’ll get it if it’s fun and if not I’ll think about it.
