    Why do you need the benefit of the doubt? Just release a good game, and people will play it, simple as.

      Early access sales ride on goodwill and they are probably expecting to ride that for a long time.

        Just by using the Subnautica name alone they have more than enough marketing. We’ve had quite a few excellent games from unknown developers with minimal marketing that have absolutely skyrocketed in popularity after launch due to how good they were, so I don’t think subnautica devs should have any problems either if their game ends up being good.
