I wouldn’t want to buy an expansion from the people who stole Disco Elysium anyway.
Still do not understand how this wasn’t hostile takeover.
Yeah, this seems like the business equivalent of a slap in the face to the original devs.
If anything the employees getting fired and the project being shitcanned adds another layer of social commentary
The whole thing is such a clusterfuck. I’ve never played it but I can sympathize with how the fans have been jerked around.
I sympathise with them, but played it without any insight into any drama. It’s one of the best games I’ve played.
I you are into adventure games and/or like the idea of a story heavy rpg without combat I wholeheartedly recommend you trying it.
I’ve tried several games like it. Arcanum being one of the most similar but I just can’t get into that style, no matter how many times I’ve tried lol. Same reason I won’t play Planescape: Torment. Just not for me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I really wanted to get into planescape torment because I have heard amazing things about the writing and I have played decently far into the beginning (escaping from the body morgue complex into city) but the whole damn game is just grey and beige and I couldn’t take it after awhile lol.
I’m sure its got an incredible story and I’d love it if I actually sat down but im in the same boat. Just not interested.
It’s not very much like Arcanum, though. Arcanum and Planescape are moer or less straight RPGs, Disco Elysium is practically a variant of a point and click adventure.
It’s a shame that people are being laid off, especially when it seems like it’s retaliation for complaining about working conditions. Still, I don’t think I’d ever be able to buy anything from ZA/UM after they kicked most of the creators out of the company and took control of the IP.
