Subnautica 2 creative development lead Anthony Gallegos knows some people are pirating the underwater survival game sequel, which developer Unknown Worlds trudged through mucky legal swamps for a year to finally release in early access May 14, and it pains him. He'd feel better if they just bought it and returned it.
Gallegos writes in a launch day message to the Subnautica Discord, that soon also spread throughout the game's subreddit, that he knows "pirates are gonna do their thing," but "I would much rather people buy the game, try it for an hour, and return it than go play it illicitly."
