And similarly, all 4 of these are not the real deal. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for more games like this and I hope they’re good, but I will wait until Kurvitz and Rostov to be at the helm again before getting too excited.
If nothing else though, Argo Tuulik’s blog post for Summer Eternal is worth a read. I love his writing style, and that post is unreasonably funny to me, but you can still tell there is a lot of meaning behind what he says. I suppose things hit hardest when presented in ridiculous over the top metaphor.
Oh yeah, for sure. Don’t get me wrong, I hope these are good. I liked John Henry Irons, Superboy, and Eradicator as well, lol. Just not the original, and need to be able to stand on their own. I desperately want more games like DE but what I don’t want is a bunch of bad actors churning out bad clones sold on someone else’s good reputation. Not that I’m accusing any of these games of that, just that given ZA/UM’s current situation, it’s hard not to worry.

Wow. This is turning into one of those mythic games that was so so good but will never get a follow-up.
I hope they all make a Disco Elysium “sequel”, that was such an awesome game, it should spawn its own genre of gaming.
Divided and conquered.
Oh, yeah. That reminds me. I still haven’t played Disco Elysium yet.
I would personally recommend not purchasing it. Not saying don’t play it, but there’s no one who will profit from it who should.
Ah, good old left wing groups self destroying and splitting up to irrelevance…
Well, more like “left wing groups being destroyed by greedy capitalists”
Life imitates art or somesuch.
Splitters
Where is the Popular ZA/UM these days Reg?
He’s over there
Spitter!
It’s The Death of Superman all over again.

I’m excited for the inevitable 2 hour long youtube retrospective breaking these factions down in a few years.
They’ll never be able to make Wirral Untethered.
Successor of ZA/UM, but not of Disco Elysium unless Kurvitz and Rostov are also involved.
Kurvitz and Rostov have their own studio called Red Info.
Although I haven’t seen anything about what they’re working on.
