i forgot it was early morning in USA. important part about who actually owns Disco Elysium right now

These rights are held by the British company Zaum UK, nicknamed Zuk.

The head of Zaum UK is Ilmar Kompus. He owns a fifth of the company. But it turns out that in the case of intellectual property, the deal can be blocked by Robert Kurvitz, the inventor of the game. The same cell who was shown the door...

This means that Kompus will not be able to freely sell "Disco Elysium" because Kurvitz could block the deal. At the same time, Kurvitz will not be able to make a sequel to his fictional game because the rights no longer belong to him, but to Zaum UK.

What a clusterfuck this whole situation is. Everything is basically in a stalemate bc reasons lol I hate copyright law.

I hope kurvitz will be able to wrestle the rights of his creation from these ghouls at some point
