I dunno I love Disco Elysium but that company can fuck right off. They wrestled away the IP from the original creators and the sequel was certain to be a confused hack job with no sense of what made the original so special. The game is definitely worth playing but it’s hard to advocate giving them any money when none of it goes to the artists who made it :\
Sail the high seas for this one
Not the ending I wanted for Elysium, but it’s hard to argue it’s not the most thematically appropriate
TIL it was in the works to begin with. Still haven’t played the first one, though
Well worth checking out the first game. Just, like, maybe get it from a source that isn’t going to give the money to ZA/UM.
Yarr. From what I hear, ZA/UM fucked the developers hardcore. Not too sure of the details because I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers.
Wonder if there’s a way to pay the devs directly.
I know this is an unpopular thing to say, but it’s… more complicated than that. Lots of people worked on the game, and most of them stayed at ZA/UM after the lead creative guy got screwed over. The people at the top now are pure bloodsucking parasites and don’t deserve your money, but saying that Robert Kurvitz was solely responsible for the game is unfair to the dozens of people who also poured their hearts and souls into the game, and don’t ever want anything to do with him again.

I don’t think anybody is saying that.
Nobody ever explicitly says that, and if you press them they’ll deny it, but people say things that only make sense if they believe that all the time.
