Great game, don’t buy it.
Original devs won’t get any of the money cause they got pushed out. Pirate it instead like me
That's like you buying a car and when you try to sell it the next person tells you they won't pay anything for it, in fact they are going to straight up steal it like some criminal.
A couple of the original writers were pushed out, including the lead writer, early on. The rest of the original writers were fired just recently. I don't know how many of the original developers of Disco are still left at the company, but they were already paid for their work on the game. Regardless of who owns it, they weren't going to see extra money (unless the firm has become a co-op, which it should have always been).
In a way it's kinda poetic that Disco Elysium was destroyed by corporate greed. That being said, it's a great shame that the original creators were robbed of the beautiful world they created. Fuck ZA/UM.
