    Weird story. No news yet on what contract terms were broken, but supposedly a judge has already ruled that Tuulik cannot work on the game until April 2025. The millionaire who sued him says ZA/UM is not involved but their lawyers sent something to Tuulik. Said millionaire is also involved in two of the Disco successors, neither of which is Summer Eternal.

    Very messy situation, but if the worst of it is that Tuulik can’t officially work on the game for six months, that’s not too bad?

      you can’t call it that, please stop calling it that, leftist-infighting would imply that any of these feuding studios besides Summer Eternal are actually leftists, they are not. calling it ‘‘leftist-infighting’’ is an actively hurtful narrative that muddies the truth; a bunch of big shot financiers wearing the skin of Disco Elysium are doing everything they can to smother out their communist competition before it even launches a single project

    Jokes aside, it’s really crazy how ZA/UM created something so truly 1 of 1. I feel so bad for everyone involved it all seems like a giant mess of IP law and interpersonal drama and all of that multiplied cause real money is on the table. All the while Amazon of all place is making a TV show or whatever of the game. Seems really bad, and one of those things that once it’s over everyone will feel like they lost.
