Looks staged and isn't funny.

It is a take one and leave one setup so they can't be stolen and the same books aren't expected to be out there for long periods of time.

Perhaps the most well-known is the extensive beach library at Albena, a restort on Bulgaria’s Black Sea. Designed by German architect Herman Kompernas, it’s built to withstand the sun, water, and wind, and equipped with a vinyl cover to protect the books in rain. It reopened this May with more than 6,000 volumes in 15 languages, all totally free to take — and visitors are encouraged to leave their own tomes for others.

The publisher delaying the game would allow them to keep the $225 million so of course they are going to say it isn't ready.

See how this works?

Also one of the YPTB mods is in a group with like 3 others who all:

Flood user modlogs with unfounded accusations of vote manipulation and trolling.

Think that people browsing All should know the size and history of every community before downvoting a single post. Also don't understand what lurkers are and assume intent.

Take downvoting very personally.

Early release was supposed to be in 2024. We have halfway through 2025.

Lead devs have said the game is ready for early release, so they are likely taking a break from a game they feel is being delayed by the publisher. The publisher is whining about expectations, not obligations or anything along those lines.

I'm with the devs on this one, project burnout is real.

A publisher trashing devs of a beloved game with personal attacks certainly was a bold move.

However, instead of participating in the game development, he chose to focus on a personal film project.

We are deeply disappointed by the former leadership’s conduct, and above all, we feel a profound sense of betrayal by their failure to honor the trust placed in them by our fans.

So professional!

They did not have any reason to personally attack the leads except out of spite, and odds are high that doing so will only anger the player base towards the publisher.

Trashing the devs was a terrible idea, and what they wrote was clearly petty and spiteful.

Yes. If you don't have adequate containment then strawberries can absolutely be a weed.

A delicious weed, but still a weed.

If you are happy with the plants being where they are then they aren't weeds. The main problem is companies that sell plant killing chemicals and services treat the word 'weed' as if it had a universal meaning.

But the cultists are the bad guys!

They seem so positive and bubbly from the outside!

Definitely a cult.

However, instead of participating in the game development, he chose to focus on a personal film project.

My assumption is that Krafton expected the leads to put in 12 hour days 7 days a week to meet ridiculous expectations and the leads took some vacation time or something along those lines. That would match up with common publisher behavior, especially the ones that trash people publicly.

The polite phrasing is pills of color

Oh boy, they are going to get so many bad Glassdoor reviews.

Or more likely they weren't actually being lazy, they knew they needed to leave room for swelling and healing. The surgeons that did tight stitches thought theirs was better because it looked better immediately after the surgery.

Surgeons are actually pretty well known for being arrogant, and claiming anyone who doesn't do their neat and tight stitching is lazy is completely on brand for people like that.

Its gonna cost you...

Yeah, subsidies and other benefits from governments exist but China is going all in.

Perfection!
