Today I watched a video about the Subnautica 2 EULA. It's terrible. Of course, Tripple A games have had terrible EULAs for a bit now, but some of the subnautica 2 clauses are worse than anything we've ever seen before. Some of the worst examples include:

-If you say anything negative about Krafton they can deactivate your license for the game.

-If you have bought a license for the game (more specifically, agreed to the EULA), any art of Subnatica 2 that you create automatically belongs to Krafton.

-If you use any kind of VPN or location-obscuring software while playing Subnautica 2, your license to the game will be deactivated, completely destroying your right to enforce your digital privacy if you want to play the game.

I have been for a long time upset about the "buying isn't owning" concept, but today I decided this is too far. I'm generally not a person who plays by the "vote with your dollar" doctrine, but I feel legitimately unwell about supporting any company like this in any small capacity. The Protect Our Games Act which will hopefully be passed is a step in the right direction, but I see laws that completely remove a company's ability to deacrivate or restrict MY use of a product that I bought, I just can't see myself playing any of these games.

I have been slowly leaning towards indie for a long time because those are the companies that actually understand what gaming is really about, but today I officially lean in entirely. I will no longer be playing any Tripple A games until we see the above mentioned laws, and will be going only indie. I must admit I've had some great times with Tripple A's, we all have, but this is too far. Farewell, Tripple A.

Edit: Someone pointed out that the EULA does not specifically state the above mentioned issues. The problem is that they wrote certain clauses so broadly that they could be extended to the degree of shutting down licenses over negative talk about Krafton, VPNs, they can claim your personal art work, etc. I appologize for not being clear and speaking in absolutes.

If you're not aware, the photoelectric cloak was nerfed in the riven tides update, and not just a small nerf either; you used to be able to get 30 seconds of cloaking from it and now it's down to 10, almost a 70% nerf. I never thought that this item was overpowered or anything, matter of fact I thought it was a pretty balanced and unique and also pretty cool item... now it's just a joke and waste of materials, especially since you still move at a snails pace while using it. Anyone have any ideas as to why they did this?
