I just read about the Eleventh Hour (Last Epoch devs) acquisition by Krafton.

:goose_yes: The good: Resources for console ports, bigger marketing, faster development

:gooseknife: The bad: Krafton is currently in a $250M lawsuit with Subnautica 2 devs for allegedly sabotaging their studio to avoid payments 😬

🤖 The ugly: 60% of Last Epoch players are already concerned about: ❌ Aggressive monetization ❌ Loss of indie identity ❌ Reduced community focus

So, what should we watch for?

- Season 3 launch (Aug 21) - first content under new ownership

- Team departures

- Monetization changes

- Development quality shifts

Bottom line: Could be great for growth OR another indie studio casualty. Krafton's track record suggests the latter 📉

The gaming community's response to this deal will shape how future indie acquisitions happen.

What do you think - smart growth move or sell-out?

Stay vigilant, Last Epoch fans!
