In my opinion there was very little chance for ZA/UM to make something interesting after they decided to kick out the guy who had the unquestionable vision, drive and actual knowledge of RPG genre, even if he was - as some claim - insufferable to work with.Which is weird considering how little time they took to make the Final Cut with how big of a task it was. I suppose things just outright imploded inside the company after the whole Kurvitz fiasco, I already had low expectations but was willing to try (not buy unless it matched disco's quality, mind you) their new projects considering all the writing on the final cut was apparently not made by Kurvitz & co. Now? I'd be surprised if ZA/UM releases anything at all.
If he was insufferable to work with how was Disco even made?
I don't pretend to understand what goes on in those hipster environments but i just have the feeling it's all just retardation and bullshitting.
Even the whole "hurr durr we are teh communists" shitck was just pretend. Real communists would never be able to make a game because video games by their very nature are a product of capitalism (a game is not like a painting or a novel that can be done by some starving artist living in an attic). Somehow, their supposed communist beliefs never got in the way during the whole process of procuring funds, allocating resources, maintaining productivity and marketing that was involved in Disco Elysium coming into being and being pushed out the door as a commercial product. If you know how to do all that and you can do it successfully how are you a communist?
