    A lawsuit forced krafton to rehire the fired devs, and extended the the payout period based on sales.

    So ironically, for maximum hurt for krafton, you should buy the game to force a larger payout.

      Well, it depends on the actual settlement, but surely the worst thing for Krafton is if the game doesn’t sell.

      I think if they’re forced to continue paying the fired devs based on sales, then the advantage of buying the game is to help the devs, not hurt Krafton.

        Well kinda

        It depends on the number of sales, but for the deal that was made, 0 sales nets them as much as 12 million!

        Only after 12 million sales do they come out of the red.
