I&#8217;m disappointed that you&#8217;d do that when it&#8217;s kind of how we make our living. I hope you rethink your life choices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"subnautica-2-screenshots\" data-value=\"subnautica-2-screenshots\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>&#8220;Just to be clear, pirates are gonna do their thing. We were all kids once,&#8221; Gallegos continued later. &#8220;Money and the economy is very hard. I get it. It wasn&#8217;t the piracy that bothered me. It was the people that flagrantly walked in here and wagged it in the faces of people who were waiting to play legitimately. That was the part that aggravated me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I understand and thank you for supporting the studio ultimately. I cannot condone piracy, but I get why people do. I would much rather people buy the game, try it for an hour, and return it than go play it illicitly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>News that illegitimate copies of Subnautica 2 were being spread online bizarrely followed several other high profile video game leaks in quick succession, including at least one user being able to access their pre-ordered copy of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight days early. <\/p>\n<p>Then, earlier this week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/forza-horizon-6-suffers-disastrous-leak-as-steam-preload-files-are-made-available-without-encryption\">Forza Horizon 6 developer Playground Games issued a dramatic warning<\/a> to anyone found playing a leaked build of Xbox&#8217;s new racing blockbuster. Those found doing so risked incurring &#8220;franchise-wide and hardware bans&#8221;, the studio said, and one player <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/forza-horizon-6-dev-bans-pirate-who-leaked-gameplay-footage-until-the-year-10000-but-faces-uphill-battle-plugging-the-leak\">subsequently reported receiving a hardware ban until the year 10,000<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Still, the leaks don&#8217;t seem to have sunk Subnautica 2 \u2014 quite the opposite. Already, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/subnautica-2-is-already-making-waves-selling-2-million-copies-in-just-12-hours\">the game has sold a stunning 2 million copies within 12 hours of its early access arrival<\/a>. Peak concurrent players across all launch platforms exceeded 651,000, with Steam alone reaching a peak of more than 467,000 concurrent players. That\u2019s nearly nine times the all-time peak concurrent player count of the original Subnautica, which launched in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>And Unknown Worlds has just released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/subnautica-2-dev-reveals-early-access-roadmap-teases-new-region-new-vehicle-and-next-chapter-of-the-story\">the Subnautica 2 early access roadmap<\/a>, detailing what fans can expect over the next few months.
