Really disappointing to see what a horrid state ZA/UM is digging for themselves. I don't think Disco Elysium 2 if it comes out will be very good. I wish Kurvitz luck on getting his IP back.

[ENCYCLOPEDIA Medium : Success] : *Fortress Accident were a game development studio working on "Wirrâl Untethered", an extremely ambitious radio roleplaying game about the heat death of the universe.*
Not really Fortress Accident, from what we see, seems to have failed specifically because of developers' feature creep and inability to set and meet deadlines. The big money men did not contribute to its death whatsoever. ZA/UM's failure, on the other hand, stems from the big money men strangling competent developers as hard as they can.
Literally not at all what happened to Fortress Accident, they fell to lack of direction and feature creep, whereas ZA/UM was taken by corporate mismanagement/IP theft. Not even remotely the same thing. Your comment suits your profile picture

I think it it more of a LOGIC or CONCEPTUALIZATION dialogue. The ENCYCLOPEDIA would probably comment on how there was a game studio that made a bad decision some time ago.
I only recently finished my first playthrough of this game... it saddens me to no end that the og writers arent apart of it anymore. This is (imo) one of the best games ever created and its thanks to the incredible writing :'(
Man am I heartbroken, that the one game I fell in love with and spent my disposable (non)income on had to be in such a state. Was buying at GOG at least less bad than Steam?
Something something set sail something something not a cent to them if you wanna get the game look up any other options than steam which i cannot mention
🏴☠️ it, it's easy to find. last time it was on sale on steam people reblogged the key to the game on tumblr so people could just play it for free lol. highly recommend, easily top 5 games of all time for me
The new writer is trash. The old writer had that cynicism you only get in eastern europe. The new writer is hopeful, even as he points out how shit everything is.
So was the old writer? Disco elyisum is very hopeful and optimistic at times. It was cynical, but it showed people could move past that into something better. The game literally ends (assuming you didn't fuck up) solving the case and being once again respected by your cop peers, you literally improve lives in the game via your actions. This seems like a very narrow-minded view of Disco. Yeah, it said the world sucked and everything was shit but that didn't make it *cynical* Not even saying the new writer is good, just this is a weird ass take on game.
@@boodle399 i didnt say the game was cynical (although it is) i said the writer was cynical. Old writer: communism is doomed and stupid. The old guard are insane murderers who conducted purges and legalised boy buggering, the new are naive overeducated young people who gatekeep against other communists instead of doing anything, and the best bet for a communist revolution and a free Revachol is an asshole who is turning Martinese into the heart of an international drug operation. And even then, the immense forces of the corrupt colonialist international government will just flatten the city again to stop it if they try. New writer: communism is here, the people are rebuilding after the war that gave them freedom, the tyrannical evil has been overthrown, and the people dare to smile again.
@@TheAussieBlue I didn't read the book club guys that way. It seemed more like a hopeful, yet careful critique of the modern communist movement. I think the scene where you build the tower piece by piece with them really demonstrates it well: Communism isn't built in a day, and if we want to achieve it, we must work together and build it carefully, block by block. The seemingly impossible structure is held together by the collective plasm of the builders, and, even if only for a moment, something amazing stands, a testament to hope in a dying world.
@@mogim815 Yeah this is the way. And even then the moment you feel a bit of doubt the whole system just crumbles apart. It's meant to show you how there could be hope for something so inplausible in a world like Elysium, or even our own. It's a longuing for something that seemingly can't be, yet you still desperately wish for it to be so. It's disco-core. "In dark times, should the stars also go out?"
I do wish the developers at ZAUM the best, personally I have no doubts they'll make a great game. Some people act like the three who were removed comprised the entirety of ZAUM, when it was a whole team, large chunks of which are still at the studio, and I trust they'll make a great game. It's just a shame it all has to be tainted with this.
Will say they fired the person who litterally created the world. Disco elysium is a prequel to a book the creator wrote (imagine if georfe lucas made a starwars game and then he got kicked off of it and suddenly he's not the creator). It IS their intelectial property. Studios stealing stuff pf writters is bad eneugh as is.
this. it was clear they've screwed themselves when instead of working on "expansions" everyone's so sad about they opened a fucking disco elysium-themed boutique. as much as love the game, the obnoxious alco-bohemia got what it deserved

Yeah.
"Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would *critique* capital end up *reinforcing* it instead."

Piracy:
have you heard of a little website called fitgirl repack
It is easily one of the best games ever made in its category. I highly recommend playing by any means necessary.
The game itself was made before all the drama. That’s the best case of ethical piracy I can think of.
Love a Rocky cameo.
I remember when i first played disco elysium i was like: god pleaaaaase dont let them screw up their company....welp

Well unfortunately the current news suggests that they won't. They've cancelled the sequel and the expansion and are axing a third of the workforce.
