According to The Korean Economic Daily, citing insider sources, Krafton has now been forced to pay out that bonus, which equates to $3.12 for every $1 every month that Unknown Worlds surpasses $69.8 million in revenue, with an upper limit of $250 million. This amounts to around 35% of Krafton's operating profit in 2025, which may explain why Krafton fought tooth and nail to avoid paying the sum.
Subnautica devs have maxed out their bonuses already 😂

BoardGameGeek has fired advertising manager Chad Krizan after almost 20 years with the company, after he cited his personal experiences of demonic possession as grounds for rejecting an ad campaign.
Krizan told Possess Me, Satan publisher Falling Whale Games that he couldn’t “in good conscience” approve ads for its Gamefound campaign as “the thought of displaying this subject matter makes me sick to my stomach”, according to an email exchange shared online by the publisher.
In the emails, Krizan says he has been “sitting on this one and praying about what to do in this instance”, adding that “as a follower of Jesus, I routinely help people suffering from demonic oppression, and more occasionally, possession, and it’s absolutely devastating the damage he does to peoples’ lives”.

Increasingly, Meta has been using debt to fuel its spending, amassing $59 billion in long-term debt on its balance sheet by the end of 2025, double the prior year’s total. And that doesn’t count the “aggressive” accounting it has used to keep the cost of a $27 billion Louisiana data center off its books. “The spending growth looks increasingly unsustainable,” The Wall Street Journal’s “Heard on the Street” columnist Asa Fitch wrote this week.
Now, as the company careens from one staggeringly expensive misadventure to another, its cash-cow core business is starting to wear out. Last quarter, the number of daily active users across its properties declined for the first time to 3.56 billion from 3.58 billion.
It’s not in your head: Costco has gotten more crowded
Shopping visits to Costco warehouses ticked up by more than 18% from the first quarter of 2019 to 2026 as US consumers have turned to the club for relief from rising prices (and the occasional free sample).

Taylor said he's a lifelong Republican. He voted for President Trump in 2024. He applied to receive relief from the administration's $12 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance Program — a one-time payment designed to offset tariff losses.
The Trump administration argued the payments would help farmers until their economic policies, such as lowering some taxes, would take effect.
Taylor received a payment in March, he said, declining to disclose the exact amount. But he said it covered only about 20 percent of what he actually lost last year, and his patience with the Trump administration is "wearing thin."
Spain’s ‘greatest matador’ gored by bull in comeback from retirement
The man admired by many Spaniards as the finest bullfighter ever seen is recovering in hospital after being gored by a bull during his comeback from retirement.
José Antonio Morante, more commonly known by his matador’s moniker Morante de la Puebla, suffered the injury on Sunday, while bullfighting in Seville. Video footage showed him being lifted off his feet as the bull’s horn punctured his buttock, before colleagues drew the animal away from him by distracting it with their capes.
After initially being in a very serious condition with the 10-centimetre wound, which perforated his rectum, Morante is now recovering.

What’s especially upsetting to Figg is that the dogs were involved in a second attack two weeks later. In that case, neighbors had to intervene after the three pit bull mixes attacked a little dog named Daisy. It took two neighbors to fend them off (one neighbor put one of the dogs in a sleeper hold). Daisy, like Figg, was badly injured.

US on verge of losing measles elimination status as outbreak surges in South Carolina
Measles is only considered eliminated in a country if it no longer spreads constantly for a year. This means that if the current outbreaks last for three more weeks, which is highly likely, it may no longer be considered eradicated in the US.
It is prevented by a vaccine administered routinely and safely to children around the world. However, a total of 93% of measles cases this year were among unvaccinated people or those with an unknown vaccination status, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Most children in the US are required to get the shot to attend school. But vaccination rates have declined as more parents waive the shots or have fallen behind on recommended vaccination schedules.
