      Disco Elysium was bought? They will probably inject it with microtransactions and some other bs. Anyway… playing that game was a rollercoaster of emotions.

        Nah, the people who made the game were laid off, no money goes to them if you buy it

        It wsn’t bought, exactly. The publisher pulled a fast one on the devs a|ter DE’s success. There’s a good report on this by people make games on youtube.

      It’s a lot more complicated than that and I suggest you watch the People Make Games investigation on the subject to get a clearer idea of the issues.

        There are other videos on the internet about this, but basically PMG have done a terrible job here. One person is accused of serious corporate misconduct, and the others have allegations of being hard to work with, and PMG effectively treats them as equal, not even realising that the reason maybe some people were hard to work with was because of forced labour from the guy also doing the corporate misconduct.

        They’ve just not done a great job overall here.

        And sometimes even if you own the game it uses some licensed software that prevents you from releasing it without going through every single line and scrubbing every reference.
