    I think this Moola guy is associated with Kaur Kender, someone who is not a leftist and didn’t have much at all to do with the game other than screw Robert Kurvitz out of ZA/UM and his IP. These are the crooks who stole the game, in other words.

      It’s uhh, fucking strange. While Kaur Kender did have something to do with the hostile takeover and looting of the company (possibly a fuck ton), he and the two main culprits, two estonian finance mobsters, Toni Havel and Ilmar Kompus, had some sort of falling out after the takeover was succesful, which ended up in a lawsuit between them (it was later settled or dropped), leading to Kender joining a different off-shoot studio called Dark Math Games (he recently resigned as Director, but his brother Heiti Kender ended up in the same seat afterwards).

      If Argo’s recent tweets are correct, it would seem that Moola from Longdue if suing both Argo’s Summer Eternal and the Kenders’s Dark Math at the same time as ZAUM, for ‘‘entirely different reasons’’ they both claim.

      on the other hand, Kurvitz and the core team are still MIA.

        I believe Kurvitz is involved in a project in London called “Red Info” but there’s no information about it at all. He’s also currently involved in the “original” lawsuit so it’s certainly possible at the end of the day that Kurvitz will get ZA/UM (or what’s left of it) and Disco Elysium back. There was a woman on the DE sub a couple months back who was at a restaurant in Estonia where Kurvitz was eating with his mom. She overheard him say the lawsuit trial was “going well”. She asked him for a picture with her and he obliged, so it’s not like she made up the story from whole cloth.

          Yeah he and Rostov, and I think Helen Hindpere too, have a studio called Red Info.

          It basically exists as some legal documents and investments as far as the public is concerned.
