Subnautica 2 Dev Responds To Player Who Asked For Tech Support On A Leaked Version Of The Game: “Thanks For Pirating A Game That I’ve Spent Years Working On”

Subnautica 2 leaked before its May 14 Early Access launch, with pirated copies circulating online.

A player then asked Unknown Worlds for technical support on the illegal build, prompting lead designer Anthony Gallegos to criticize them on Discord.

The episode sparked discussion about game leaks, piracy, and developer frustration over unfinished releases.

Despite the leak, Subnautica 2 reportedly launched strongly, selling more than 2 million copies on day one.
