deserved bonus

Contractually mandated bonus, but I wouldn't call "more than all Unknown Worlds games have made combined" a deserved bonus.

The CEO was an idiot for offering a quarter billion dollars extra for a simple milestone bonus on a game that almost certainly couldn't earn more than a fraction of that, and that's on top of everything else they paid for the studio. Them using ChatGPT as an advisor explains so much about their terrible legal and financial decisions.
