„Fans Have the Right to Know” - Disco Elysium Co-Creator Talks ZA/UM Losing With the System
... interminable whinging ...
I feel sorry for Kurvitz, Hindpere and Rostov (their shitty behavior at Sirp notwithstanding). I wish them well in whatever they do. They all three strike me as fundamentally broken and mentally/spiritually crippled people, who nevertheless threw everything they had into a grand endeavor and came out the other side of the furnace holding a masterpiece. Fearfully and wonderfully made, indeed.
I hope they're able to get the help and support they need (it certainly doesn't seem they've set themselves up to have a support system in the inevitable event of their crash and burn, however. Might be worth some noodling for them). If they published Elysium as an RPG system, or made more Elysium games, I'd buy them. And I won't be buying shit from ZAUM again, not least because that slimy little faggot
Brikoleur
(nice name change btw) is working there.
For the author's stale takes on capitalism or whatever the fuck, I have nothing but contempt. He approaches the topic as a spoiled child, and I certainly have no interest in listening to "anti-capitalist critique no. 1,048,509", especially from the mouth of a whiny brat who can't even be bothered to be internally consistent in his narrative. Grow the fuck up.
I miss PJ's presence on the 'dex.
I said it to Sorin and I'll say it to you: you've lost your fucking mind. Did you read those tweets?! Snobbish dismissal, patently obvious evasion and a complete refusal to deal with the facts laid out by
Longes. He's got his comfy little game dev job working with a bunch of other self-satisfied, entitled bitch-boy champagne socialists and he's by God not gonna let their abysmal treatment of the founders of the company stop him from enjoying it! You know what he could have done if the subject made him uncomfortable? Try to be truthful. In the event of it, bow out.
Anthony Davis had the integrity to do that during the Avellone/Feargus meltdown, pulled between sides when he felt sympathy for both. Not PJ though! No, instead he had to lie through his teeth to try to salvage his company's (company! Not even his!) image on the internet.
Fuck that cocksucker. Good riddance. He was the epitome of the thin-skinned midwits of the world, forever offering critique and professing to know everything important, and forever surprised and upset when people shit on him by pointing out his obvious idiocy.
You, Licorice and Stavrophore (for starters) are all worth 10,000 of him. We've got more than enough of his caliber on the Codex already, thank you very much.
