‘Subnautica 2' leaders say Krafton sabotaged game over payout
The ousted leadership of video-game developer Unknown Worlds said parent company Krafton Inc fired them after the executives presented the company with upbeat revenue projections that would have triggered most, if not all, of a US$250mil (RM1.06bil) bonus payment, according to a copy of their lawsuit which was unsealed July 16. Former Unknown Worlds chief executive officer Ted Gill and founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire said Krafton sought to delay the release of their new game, Subnautica 2, after realising they would have to pay that large a sum, according to their complaint. The South Korean game publisher offered the executives a lower payout before terminating their employment earlier this month, the lawsuit alleges. Gill, Cleveland and McGuire filed a lawsuit for breach of contract on July 10. A representative for Krafton declined to comment on the suit. In a statement to press last week, Krafton said the three studio leaders had "abandoned the responsibilities entrusted to them' and that "the absence of core leadership has resulted in repeated confusion in direction and significant delays in the overall project schedule'. Krafton purchased Unknown Worlds in 2021 for US$500mil (RM2.12bil), with as much as US$250mil (RM1.06bil) more due to be paid in 2026 if the company hit certain revenue targets. The complaint argues that all was well between the two sides until a series of meetings in early 2025 when Gill was negotiating with Krafton about paying bonuses to employees who weren't eligible under the original acquisition terms. About 40 people employed by Unknown Worlds at the time of the sale were told they would receive payouts, mostly in the six-or-seven-figures, but the executives also wanted to offer bonuses to those who had joined later. During those meetings, Gill said that their revenue projections for the coming year had been conservative and that with the upcoming releases of the original Subnautica on mobile and Switch 2, they were expecting significantly higher numbers. Subnautica 2 was also expected to be a big hit, with nearly 2.5 million people adding the game to their wishlists on the PC platform Steam. "After Krafton's leaders reviewed Gill's projections and evaluated the anticipated revenue and earnout numbers, everything changed,' they said in their complaint. The leadership group said that in subsequent meetings, Krafton began pushing for Unknown Worlds to delay Subnautica 2. In the weeks that followed, Krafton employees told Gill they believed the company was trying to get out of paying the earnout, the complaint alleges. During one lunch meeting, according to the complaint, Krafton chief executive officer Changhan Kim told Cleveland that releasing the game in 2025 "could be disastrous financially and hugely embarrassing' for the company. Krafton later said that had been a mistranslation. Throughout May and June, the two sides continued to battle as Krafton halted publishing duties such as marketing and adapting the game for local markets, as well as paying vendors, according to the complaint. The former leadership team said that the publisher refused to support the game's imminent summer release and that Unknown Worlds missed out on "highly valuable' promotional opportunities because Krafton didn't respond to emails. Gill said he was told by one of Krafton's top executives that "pulling these resources was a permissible way for Krafton to avoid supporting the earnout', according to the complaint. By the end of June, the relationship had deteriorated. During various meetings, Krafton asked the leadership group to accept a lower earnout, according to the complaint. Around the same time, Kim wrote a letter to the leaders, reviewed by Bloomberg, accusing them of "failing to fulfill the responsibilities with which you were entrusted' and saying that Subnautica 2 had faced "slow and underwhelming progress'. On July 1, Krafton fired the three studio leaders, who are now seeking damages "in an amount to be determined at trial', according to their suit. Krafton has said it will extend the bonus period until next year, with Unknown Worlds employees able to share in a US$25mil (RM106.13mil) payout if revenue targets are hit. One main point of contention between the founders and Krafton was whether the game was ready for release this year under the company's early access model, which allows outsiders to play the game and submit feedback. Presentation slides from Krafton reviewed by Bloomberg, which included quotes from the company's internal testers, argued that Subnautica 2 lacked content and didn't feel innovative enough. The lawsuit alleges otherwise. Pre-release tests involving hundreds of users "drew high marks and confirmed that the game was ready to meet those lofty expectations", it said. Developers at Unknown Worlds speaking to Bloomberg said they believed the game was in good shape, as did some external parties, who asked to not be identified. One developer at a separate company who played Subnautica 2 and requested anonymity because they signed a non-disclosure agreement told Bloomberg they enjoyed the game and that it "seemed way more robust' than other titles in early access. The other point of contention was the roles that Cleveland and McGuire played at the studio. In public statements and in documentation reviewed by Bloomberg, Krafton accused the two founders of neglecting their duties because they were minimally involved with the development of Subnautica 2. In their suit, the founders said that Krafton was aware of their new roles and that Cleveland had spent a large amount of time working on a Subnautica film, which Krafton had asked the studio to develop. – Bloomberg

North Korea bans foreign tourists from new coastal resort
SEOUL: North Korea has blocked foreign tourists from entering its newly developed Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Zone, just days after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov visited the site. The decision was announced by the North's National Tourism Administration, which stated that 'foreign tourists are temporarily not being accepted' without providing further details. The resort, promoted as 'North Korea's Waikiki' by South Korean media, features high-rise hotels and waterparks, with capacity for around 20,000 visitors. State media had earlier hinted at Russian tour groups arriving in the coming months, but the sudden restriction has raised questions. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has prioritized tourism development, calling the Wonsan project 'one of the greatest successes this year.' He also pledged to expand large-scale tourist zones quickly. Despite this, Seoul's unification ministry predicts limited international tourism due to flight constraints. Kim recently hosted Lavrov in Wonsan, reaffirming full support for Russia's war in Ukraine. Lavrov praised the resort as a 'good tourist attraction,' suggesting it could appeal to Russians seeking new destinations. Before Lavrov's visit, Russia announced twice-weekly flights between Moscow and Pyongyang, potentially easing travel restrictions in the future. - AFP

Xinhua Headlines: How China's ancient porcelain capital captivates younger generation
NANCHANG, July 18 (Xinhua) -- Sitting in his studio in east China's porcelain capital of Jingdezhen, 33-year-old Zha Fuyuan carefully paints a cartoon-style version of Zhong Kui, the ghost catcher from Chinese folklore, onto a blank ceramic cup. An avid painting enthusiast, Zha moved to Jingdezhen -- a city in Jiangxi Province with over 2,000 years of ceramic-making history -- ten years ago after graduating, to chase his artistic dream. Though the early days were challenging, Zha's China-chic designs have gained widespread popularity through livestreaming platforms, earning him an annual income of over 400,000 yuan (about 55,946 U.S. dollars). "In Jingdezhen, if you're willing to work hard, the city won't let you down," Zha said. Zha is one of over 100,000 young people who have chosen to build their future in Jingdezhen over the past decade. Official data shows that more than half of the 60,000 so-called "Jingpiaos," a local term for newcomers seeking opportunities here, were born after 1990. YOUNG DREAMS FIRED IN KILN What makes Jingdezhen so attractive to young creatives? The answer lies in a turning point around 2000, when the rise of the market economy led to the closure of 10 major ceramic factories here that once produced nearly half of China's household ceramics. The downturn gave way to a new industrial structure. About 100,000 ceramic workers remained in the city, and the ceramic-making infrastructure was left intact, creating a fertile environment for newcomers to learn the craft with relatively low barriers to entry. In 2016, the city opened Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue, aimed at preserving 22 historic factory buildings and more than 30 old kilns. The area also features galleries, workshops and exhibition halls, as well as pedestrian-only streets, making space for young artists to set up stalls. Each month, 1,200 applicants with original, high-quality works are selected from over 4,000 to set up stalls in Taoxichuan. Among them, the top 300 are offered space in an entrepreneurial incubation base. Those who reach an annual turnover of over 300,000 yuan and establish their own studios can "graduate," thereby making room for new creators. Mou Weixing, a 26-year-old from southwestern Chongqing Municipality with a background in animation design, runs a stall once a week, with a monthly income of around 9,000 yuan. "In Jingdezhen, clay and glaze materials are just a phone call away, and even rare supplies can be found here," Mou said. "A kiln costs only about 5,000 yuan, and communal firing is just 50 yuan per session. With low costs and a large market, no one feels alone on their entrepreneurial journey in this city." To further support young artisans, four new low-rent youth apartment blocks are being built near Taoxichuan. Graduates are also eligible for interest-free loans, and a talent service bureau has been established to assist the city's "Jingpiaos". MORE THAN JUST CERAMICS In Jingdezhen, the Taoran Craft Market, a quarterly fair featuring handmade crafts, coffee and glassworks, draws more than 120,000 visitors each time it opens. "The market is no longer limited to ceramics, but a platform for a broad range of artistic expressions," said Hua Jing, 31, who innovatively launched the craft fair in 2022. This growing diversity is reflected in the city's expanding creative industries. There are now 11 distinct categories, including lacquerware, weaving and metal arts, with about 11,000 artisans actively engaged. "Expanding creative industries have injected new vitality into the city, drawing a more diverse community of young people," said Goh Zhenxi, 31, who came to Jingdezhen from Malaysia ten years ago to study ceramic-making and now works at Taoxichuan. "Their arrival is fueling the cross-disciplinary integration and innovation of ceramic art." As night falls, Taoxichuan transforms into a vibrant stage. Young trainees from the Phonbay Training Institute, based on the avenue, take the stage with livestreamed shows of music and dance. "In this city, everyone pursues what they truly desire, and this is not limited to pottery. Each person can discover a lifestyle and approach to work that suits them," said Liu Nan, head of Phonbay Training Institute.
