Eh, fair enough, the publishers fucked over the OGs... now tis our time...
ZA/UM, the studio that made Disco Elysium, has had a bunch of controversies. They've laid off a lot of the people that originally worked on DE, and apparently the studio "no longer represents the ethos it was founded on". I'm sure there's even more, but this is just what I remember.
One of the financiers borrowed money against the studio to buy more of the studio in order to do a hostile takeover and pushed the original creatives out. There’s stuff about kurvitz being a toxic boss but the source is the business guy taking over the company and the rest of the core team don’t seem to be backing up the claim about kurvitz.
This is literally my face every day and I literally do finger guns at the check out counter
Me when I play disco elysium and then cannot finish it (I am atrocious at navigating)
