Seeing the disaster of Below Zero's development play out in real time with the developer updates and backtracked promises, story, content, pricing, etc. should have caused such negative word-of-mouth as to kill the IP and Unknown Worlds. Unfortunately, I and many others enjoyed the first game so much that we fed the monster for the sake of finding out that the game was exactly the pile of shit we feared. A good sequel simply isn't a reward any of us should expect for enriching a bunch of spoiled faggots who overtly refused to acknowledge that no one plays Subnautica for the sake of being beaten over the head with the personal politics of a Redditor.
