Play interstellar soundtrack while making the final descent on the mun and have barely enough delta v to make it back. Absolute Cinema.

Imagine a game just like Kerbal Space Program 2, except finished! Good with or without mods. I mod the heck out of everything, and yet this is probably the only game I play vanilla.

Strauss Zelnick, as CEO of Take-Two Interactive, holds significant power and responsibility over the projects his company undertakes. When Take-Two Interactive acquired the Kerbal Space Program franchise, fans had high hopes that the sequel would uphold the legacy of the original. Instead, KSP 2 launched in early access with significant performance issues, missing promised features, and a lack of transparency about its development timeline. As CEO, Strauss Zelnick sets the tone for Take-Two’s corporate practices. His leadership directly influences the strategic and ethical direction of the company. One of the most controversial aspects of KSP 2’s troubled development was the abrupt closure of Star Theory Games, the original studio behind the sequel. In 2020, Take-Two Interactive reportedly poached Star Theory employees to form Intercept Games, effectively dismantling the studio. This aggressive maneuver led to mass layoffs, leaving many talented developers without jobs and raising serious questions about Take-Two’s ethical practices. Such actions not only disrupted lives but also undermined the continuity and quality of KSP 2’s development. The fallout from these decisions highlights a broader pattern of corporate indifference under Strauss Zelnick’s leadership, where the pursuit of control and profits came at the expense of human capital and the integrity of the project. This disregard for the welfare of employees further strengthens the case for holding Zelnick accountable in court. By holding Strauss Zelnick accountable in court, we send a strong message to the industry: corporate greed and consumer exploitation will not be tolerated.

better than KSP2 by a long shot. Unbelievably moddable. May require a NASA PC if you add too many parts. Kill little green frogs in a multitude of ways. Commit genocide under the cover of a space program. 10/10 would recommend
