On the other, if they reach certain milestones, which it looks like they almost certainly will, then Krafton is required to pay out the $250 million…and the drama seems to have entirely come from Krafton.
So if I get the game, I contribute toward embarrassing Krafton since their CEO did this stunt entirely to avoid the “embarrassment” of paying it out and I get a game that’ll likely be very good from devs with a good track record.
In the short term, Krafton gets money from the purchase and if the milestone doesn’t get met, then they don’t have to pay out anything thereby getting my money as a net benefit…
