Subnautica, such a beautiful game. And if you’ve been following it’s Early Access shenanigans since the very beginning, the devs have a special treat for all of their supporters and fans of the game.
To celebrate the first two weeks after the successful launch, the devs have released the OST(Official SoundTrack) on their YouTube channel, for free!
However… there is a bit of controversy surrounding the release of the OST. The lead sound designer (who did the OST), ‘Simon Chylinsky’, was fired for multiple inappropriate words from his personal Twitter page, that are against the company’s policy. Most people are finding this firing being wrong, which is quite reminiscent of what happened last year, with JohnTron having an opinion that differed with Yuka-Laylee‘s devs. Except that guy is a YouTuber, this guy worked for the company (and as so, their words are to be kept at a higher standard).
Simon will not sue the company, according to sources for releasing the OST (and his firing).
For easy access, I’ve posted the links to the first ten songs in here. More of the OST is promised to be released “throughout the week”, so watch this post for more links;

If you haven’t already and would want to purchase the game, you may do so through Steam. Though I am curious how this firing would affect future sales (if any).
