In the latest update, a judge has ordered Krafton to reinstate former Unknown Worlds Entertainment CEO Ted Gill, saying the publisher violated its contract when Gill and his fellow co-founders were fired last summer. The suit also claims that Krafton CEO Changhan Kim “consulted an artificial intelligence chatbot to contrive a corporate ‘takeover’ strategy” and get out of paying a $250 million bonus.
