Personally - I'm not buying the game. Krafton still owns the studio, and they've done nothing to make the situation better. Court mandated remediations aside, krafton tried to abuse these devs and steal what they were owed. They're still working under a hostile parent company and likely will become a skeleton crew in no time.

Best case scenario unknown worlds can use the money to split themselves into a new studio.

the game has to sell at least 3M copies for the devs to get the $250M tho

AFAIK this is not true. The bonus is just capped. But every dollar spent is increasing their bonus until they have sold 3M copies.

it also has a bottom. it only triggers when revenue exceeds $69.8 million, so about 2.3 million copies
