I made a bunch of wokies mad by calling the new Subnautica 2 game Wokenautica. Its a game where you literally cannot defend yourself with any weapon against aggressive or attacking fish or other life forms. If you are not allowed to defend yourself with a weapon, then you are woke, and so is your game. This is going in the Non-Buy-Nary list until the game devs give us what we want without being complete snobs about it.





We just posted a letter from the Subnautica 2 team to the community, addressing some key feedback since launch! 📝 🔗: unknownworlds.com/en/news/subnau…


























Why are people getting mad that they’re not the apex predator in “you’re on an alien planet and you’re no longer the apex predator” the game



DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO SUBNAUTICA 2.. > be Subnautica 2 developers > player politely asks why you can’t kill most creatures > level designer snaps back: "This is not a killing game, go play Sons of the Forest if you want violence" > another dev adds that big creatures will stay safe because "the game should feel right" The first Subnautica let you stab leviathans with a knife. Now they want you to peacefully coexist with 50-meter monsters like it’s a underwater yoga class. Why do developers treat their most loyal fans like this? Why can’t they just answer normally without being condescending and aggressive? Loyal players are the ones who supported you for years. If you keep talking down to them, they’ll simply stop playing. And in the end, you - the developers - will be the ones who lose the most. Peak "go touch grass" energy in 2026. You think this approach will help the game long-term or are we watching it slowly die?



@lmkifiwin We are watching it slowly die. These game devs clearly still have not learned their lesson.
