Hello Subnauts, A few of you noticed some information shared online by our publisher, KRAFTON 🕵 While some of the news is exciting, we’d like to clarify: Early Access is not intended for release in 2024, but we plan to share a lot more information later this year! In reference to “Game
Maybe it’s just me, but I think it was a mistake to describe it as GaaS. I understand how they’re trying to use the term, but the fact they felt the need to clarify how they meant it should have been a clear enough sign the term is rather tainted.
