After Subnautica 2 maker Unknown Worlds tried telling people it didn't make the game so you could shoot the fish, people have modded in the ability to shoot the fish.
Over the weekend, lead game designer Anthony Gallegos said that non-violent gameplay in Subnautica is a "point of resistance that we'll get repeatedly," but assured, "we feel strongly about it." So strongly in fact, that over on the game's Discord, another dev told a fan asking why you can't kill in Subnautica 2, "We aren't a killing game. Go play Sons of the Forest or something if you want to kill."
