A judge ordered the reinstatement of a video game developer after he was fired as part of a scheme cooked up by a CEO using ChatGPT. Facing the possibility of paying out a massive bonus to the developer of Subnautica2, the CEO of publisher Krafton used ChatGPT to create a plan to take over the development studio and force out its founder, according to court records.
The Monday ruling details the bizarre story. Unknown Worlds Entertainment is the studio behind the 2018 underwater survival game Subnautica. The company has since been working on the sequel, Subnautica 2. In 2021, South Korean publisher Krafton bought Unknown Worlds Entertainment for $500 million and promised to pay out another $250 million if Subnautica 2 sold well enough.
Krafton’s internal sales projections for Subnautica 2 looked great, and looked like it would be on the hook for the additional $250 million. In an attempt to avoid paying this, Krafton CEO Changhan Kim turned to ChatGPT for help avoiding paying the developers the $250 million bonus. “As Unknown Worlds prepared to release its hotly anticipated sequel, Subnautica 2, the parties’ relationship fractured,” the court decision said. “Fearing he had agreed to a ‘pushover’ contract, Krafton’s CEO consulted an artificial intelligence chatbot to contrive a corporate ‘takeover’ strategy.”
Kim partnered with Krafton Head of Corporate Development Maria Park and the company’s legal team to work out options. He toyed with finding a reason to fire the founders. According to court records, Park pinged Kim on Slack and told him that attempting to avoid paying the bonus would be legally risky. “Hi CEO . . . it seems to be highly likely that the earn-out will still be paid if the sales goal is achieved regardless of the dismissal with cause,” the Slack message said according to court records. “Therefore, there isn’t much that we can practically gain other than punishment with a simple dismissal alone, whereas I am worried that we may be exposed to lawsuit and reputation risk.”
But the CEO would not accept defeat. “And so Kim turned to ChatGPT for help,” court records said. “When the AI chatbot responded that the earnout would be ‘difficult to cancel,’ Kim complained to Park that the [payout] was a ‘contract under which we can only be dragged around.’”
Kim pressed the chatbot for an answer. “At ChatGPT’s suggestion, Kim formed an internal task force, dubbed ‘Project X.’ The task force’s mandate was to either negotiate a ‘deal’ on the earnout or execute a ‘Take Over’ of Unknown Worlds. They looked to buy time,” court records said. “Kim sought ChatGPT’s counsel on how to proceed if Krafton failed to reach a deal with Unknown Worlds on the earnout. The AI chatbot prepared a ‘Response Strategy’ to a ‘No-Deal’ Scenario.”
This was a piece of ChatGPT’s “Project X” for Krafton:
“a. Preemptive Framing - Repeat that protecting quality and fan trust is the highest priority, undermine the ‘Large Corporation VS. Indie’ framing
b. Securing Control Points -
* Lock down Steam/console publishing rights and access rights over code/build pipeline through both legal and technical aspects.
* For the earn-out freeze, keep room for negotiations through provision stating ‘immediate removal if specific development results are achieved’
a. Systematic materials for legal defense - Prepare contract interpretation memorandums, log all communications, seek external consultation
b. Team retention - Operation of retention packages for key personnel and rapid backfill pipelines in anticipation of resignation/departure scenarios
c. Two handed strategy - Create a structure that allows for both hardball (Legal+ Finance) and softball (Support/Incentives) approaches so moderate factions within Unknown Worlds can push for compromise.”
Kim followed ChatGPT’s advice rather than his lawyers’ advice, according to the court records. The first step was posting a message on Subanutica’s website to get fans on his side. According to court documents, Kim said the goal of the message was to “secure public support from fans and legal validation of our legitimacy.” He then suggested that ChatGPT write it for him. It achieved the opposite of his intended goal. Fans found the message bizarre and worried about the future of the game. Those fears were compounded when Kim fired the game’s original creators and entered into a legal battle with them.
The legal battle is ongoing, but Kim looks set to lose. The judge has ordered he reinstate the fired developers and has exposed the CEO’s flailing use of ChatGPT. Krafton told Kotaku that it was “evaluating its options” regarding the ruling and that it “puts players at the heart of every decision
Look, I know it's funny to say the PC-98 eroge had a stellar soundtrack for 'just an eroge'.
But that is extremely dismissive of what YU-NO is and how it shaped the landscape of future releases in the era.
Like we're talking about a game with time travel that lets you set down checkpoints in time, so you can collect items across multiple timelines and solve a series of mysteries.
It's a story so long and complicated, it had been in Kanno's mind and developing for over a decade. It's a story that doesn't even properly work as a show or movie, it has to be a game.
This title was extremely influential to how the sci-fi genre evolved in the adventure game medium of this era in japan.
Titles like Steins;Gate wouldn't exist in nearly the same fashion, KEY works would be entirely different, other adventure game producing companies started trying to push themselves to match YU-NO's high production values.
I'm sorry but you can be funny without being dismissive of something that had a huge cultural impact on a medium of storytelling.
the composer Ryu Umemoto left his well-paying job scoring licensed games at FamilySoft to work in the pc-98 eroge scene because of the creative freedom it allowed him. he and the writer Hiroyuki Kanno worked together on several ambitious games for various small erotic games companies. there's a great obituary that talks about his life, here: click.
Like. When Whumper picks their clothes to make them pretty (doesn't even have to be with a specially good-looking whumpee. they dont look special. but they WILL) and picks jewelry to accentuate the color of their eyes and dresses them up like a fashion doll and pick something that looks kinda cute or just a suit with some nice hair acessories. Doesn't have to be in an Intimate Whumper way. Just. Whumpee is theirs. So they are gonna take them to a gala to show off their weapon/pet/new servant/slave/whatever and have whumpee looking Nice. And they do! But they don't want to. Making whumpee cut or grow their hair to a style that frames their face better or smth. Against whumpees will bc theyd never wear that. Although they do look pretty.
Idk i just. Going crazy with todays prompt (put on display) and drawing so many stupid iterations ANYWAYS

having been trained and conditioned to find certain stimuli arousing.
certain situations that whumpee seeks out subconsciously (or not!)
aching for something they can't name, something that brings them shame.
whumpee that is grumpy and irritable, snapping at others because they need whumper's particular flavor of cruelty - even when they know it's bad for them.
The last time I saw my old psychiatrist before they had to leave their job for reasons after 10+ years seeing them, they mentioned how they read my fics here and on AO3.
Yes, this includes the whump fics.
They said, and I quote, "Writing that kind of thing doesn't make you a bad person."
They're right.
So remember folks. Just because you write whump, you're not a bad person. If it helps you or you enjoy it, keep doing it :)

This is Haolong dongi, a new species of iguanodontian ornithopod found covered in what is basically,,, hedgehog quills??
The fossil is a stunningly preserved skeleton from China that includes evidence of hard armour scales on the tail (like in the much smaller Kulindadromeus), and a coat of spines along its neck and back! The name appropriately means "spiky dragon".
Not only is a spiny iguanodont wild on its own (this individual is over 2 metres long and is a juvenile, other ornithopods with quill-like structures are much smaller), these spines also appear to be an entirely new skin structure? They're apparently not feathers or scales, but a secret third thing.
I had a lot of fun writing this one! Hope you enjoy!
The Cost of Obsession
Whumpee woke up tied to a bed. Their head pounded and throbbed, the scent of chemicals cloying in the back of their throat. In contrast, the sheets under them smelled foreign, all spice and wood instead of their favoured rain scent. Thick leather straps wrapped around each wrist, each ankle, forcing them spread eagle. They felt so exposed, unable to defend themselves or even curl up protectively. Pulling at the leather straps exposed zero give and whumpee huffed in frustration as their skin chaffed against the tight bindings.
"Morning, darling."
Whumpee startled, flinching hard enough that the straps made a snapping sound. Their eyes shot to Whumper leaning against the wall in the corner, all languid confidence. Whumpee's heart stuttered at the sight of them.
"Whumper? What—? I don't—"
"Shh," Whumper hushed in a soothing voice, stepping close to their feet and placing a palm on their leg, warm even through their jeans. "It's okay, I've got you."
Whumpee began trembling under their touch. But not just from the fear. Their brain struggled to form the questions and the objections that they desperately needed to voice.
"I was starting to worry that I overdosed you," Whumper hummed, amused. "I'm glad you're finally awake. I've been thinking about you for hours." Whumper climbed slowly and gracefully onto the foot of the bed, hovering above Whumpee's prone form.
"Easy," Whumper soothed, brushing a gentle hand across Whumpee's hip where their shirt had ridden up in their struggles. "Don't be scared. I know how badly you want this. I'll be gentle."
A pathetic sound slipped past the lump growing in Whumpee's throat. Of course they had wanted Whumper. They were gorgeous and intoxicating and so confident. They had drawn Whumpee in the first time they'd met, Whumpee circling them like they were the sun.
But this? No.
"I- I don't want this," Whumpee rasped.
"Oh, darling. I know how hard it is to ask for things we want." Whumper leaned up and kissed at the tears slipping down Whumpee's cheeks. "This will be worth it."
Then Whumper was claiming their lips in a deep kiss, tongue slipping past lips into Whumpee's mouth. A hand snaked down and brushed against whumpee's inner thigh. Whumpee couldn't stop the sound that left them, mortified and too many other things.
Whumper chuckled. "See? I know you want me. Since the first moment your eyes met mine, it was written all over your adorable face."
"No, I—" Whumpee was cut off by a whimper as Whumper burried their face in Whumpee's neck, nipping and sucking.
Whumper's lips found their ear, hot breath sending chills down whumpee's skin in waves. "You're going to remember this—me—forever. I'm going to make sure of it," they promised before shoving their tongue into Whumpee's ear.
Whumpee let out a strangled sound, trying to twist away. Whumper grabbed their chin and forced them closer, tongue moving down their jaw to their neck. "God, you taste amazing. I knew you would."
"Please, stop. I can't— Please, I just—" Whumpee stumbled over the words, heart racing as Whumper continued the gentle but inescapable ministrations.
"I've got you now, Whumpee. You don't have to worry about a thing." Whumper straightened, revealing their flushing face and heaving chest. Then a pocket knife appeared in their hand.
Whumpee gasped and yanked against their restraints, fear freezing cold in their gut. Slowly Whumper brought the knife to Whumpee's shirt and dragged it down the length, splitting fabric and skin alike.
"Agh," Whumpee groaned out, twisting from the pain. "Stop!"
"Sorry, precious. Blood just makes it so much more delicious. It'll be over soon." Whumper smiled, almost comfortingly, down at them as they moved on to Whumpee's pants. Soon Whumpee was bare, new cuts stinging along their skin. "No need to cry, love."
Whumpee managed a small glare. "H-hurts," they whimpered.
"Oh, love, I could just eat you up." Whumper kissed their tears away again, lips soft and warm. And the worst part was, it wasn't the first time Whumper had said it. But it was the first time Whumpee believed it. "Maybe if you're good, I'll do just that." They giggled, pulling back just far enough to take in Whumpee's tear streaked face.
Then their hands were everywhere, stroking and brushing, excruciatingly tender as Whumpee trembled beneath them. The blood smeared like Whumpee was just a canvas for Whumper to use, the scent metallic in the air mingling with sweat and arousal, filling Whumpee's senses. Their words dried up on their tongue as Whumper whispered sweet nothings into their hair, their skin, the charged space between them.
Whumpee was messy with both of their cum when Whumper finally slumped down, cuddling against their side. Fingers skimmed bare skin and Whumpee shivered, too weak to pull away and nowhere to go.
"That was so beautiful, Whumpee," Whumper whispered, voice soft and sincere.
Whumpee swallowed around the lump in their throat, the tears dried up. They felt far away and stuck at the same time.
"When I first found you," Whumper whispered conspiratorially, "I just knew I had to have you. But then Caretaker introduced us and you saw me for the first time." Whumper's fingers carded through Whumpee's hair. "The look you gave me! Like I was the whole world. God, Whumpee, you're so perfect!"
Whumpee squeezed their eyes shut against the words. Shit, was this all their fault?
"Are you ready to get cleaned up, love?" Whumper whispered into their hair. They gently released the restraints one by one. Whumpee thought about attacking. They willed themselves to do something. But they were too numb, the world something distant and filmy.
Whumper led them to the attached bathroom, starting a bath. They eased Whumpee down into the water, wounds stinging but soothed all the same. Whumper went over every inch of Whumpee's body, nothing left to themself. The touch was the same as it had been earlier, all gentle yet undeniable. There was an edge behind Whumper's softness that Whumpee sensed would cut them to pieces if provoked.
So they didn't fight as Whumper laid claim to them.
And Whumpee knew, no matter how much either of them scrubbed, they would never feel clean again.
aah I love how this starts! That contrast between the comforting rain scent they’re used to and the foreign spice and wood already tells us everything is wrong before we even read about the straps
Also loving the slow build-up. You really nailed the push & pull between whumpee’s fear and their (unwilling) physical responses
no matter how much either of them scrubbed, they would never feel clean again
This line is so haunting!
