"Internal projections showed the new title generating significant revenue that would easily trigger the earnout. Fearing he had agreed to a "pushover" contract, Krafton's CEO consulted an artificial intelligence chatbot to contrive a corporate 'takeover' strategy."
"When the AI chatbot responded that the earnout would be 'difficult to cancel,' Kim complained to Park. At ChatGPT's suggestion, Kim formed an internal task force, dubbed "Project X. The task force's mandate was to either negotiate a 'deal' on the earnout or execute a 'Take Over' of Unknown Worlds."
A Delaware court concluded a legal dispute between Krafton and Unknown Worlds, ruling that Krafton breached its contract by firing the studio's co-founders without cause and taking control of Subnautica 2. Court documents revealed that Krafton CEO Changhan Kim consulted ChatGPT to develop a strategy to deny Unknown Worlds millions in earnout payments and assume control of the game. When Kim learned that firing the co-founders wouldn't void the earnout clause and could trigger litigation, he turned to the AI chatbot for guidance. Following ChatGPT's advice, Kim established an internal task force called "Project X" tasked with either negotiating a favorable deal on the earnout or executing a complete takeover of Unknown Worlds.
