Don't you ever think that the reason this games get canceled is because they aren't good? When stuff doesn't get canceled we get Redfall likes
Sometimes. But not in this case; what happened to Disco Elysium is a rabbit hole of corruption and backstabbing that could only come out of Eastern Europe.
ZA/UM leadership can eat donkey dicks, and if I had Musk/Bezos money I would hire every single dev that got laid off from there and just let them make games till the heat death of the universe.
But I'm a povo bitch, so best I can offer is a free drink at the bar and a handjob in the back alley.
You'd think the same would have happened to the E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy devs, but they're all still coolsies with each other.
If you are not familiar with the history of this game, it's understandable to be skeptical. Obviously in most cases that would be a reasonable assumption. But in this specific case, it being cancelled out of spite actually makes way more sense than it being cancelled because it wouldn't have been financially viable.
Well, in this case there is a ALOT of background saying that this probably not the case. It is messed up.
There have been games that were hyped to hell and back and actually completed that were cancelled/prevented from releasing at the last possible moment. Sometimes because of licensing issues. Other times because some upper management dumbass wanted to move everyone to another project and abandon the one they finished.
