A follow-up to the legendary Disco Elysium might have been ready to play within the next year—ZA/UM's devs loved it, management canceled it and laid off the team

It was supposed to be the "110% authentic, most hardcore Disco since Disco."
This is one of the saddest stories in gaming. Author was depressed and friends help him create a game. Game is considered one of the greatest games ever created only the publisher screws original team out of the rights to the game mimicking the exact type of short sighted bullshit that creatives have to deal within the Disco Elysium world.
The whole situation is great performance art though, no notes.
Probably my favorite game maybe because of some similarities with the main character I loved the redemption arc. I loved the capitalist socialist critiques. I wish more games would focus on that dichotomy.
I loved this game, DLC would have been a day 1 buy for me
Nothing escapes the cursed commercial district.
Truly heartbreaking
@ylai this got game of the year if I recall, a total blunder for the management to fumble so hard
Devs should be focusing on their next project and celebrating the triumph that is DE. It’s heartbreaking to see everything unfolded in the years after its release.
