Seems an expansion for this has been canned along with layoffs at the studio

I feel for the staff at the studio, after working incredibly hard on the game, and enduring what sounds like some of the shittiest office politics going as the creative leads were forced out by the studio owners, the most vocal sections of the fanbase have rarely acknowledged them or their contributions, and instead they've borne the brunt of the abuse aimed at the studio, where presumably they've stayed because they needed stable employment. To then get canned after that must be incredibly miserable.

Likely the studio was always going to be doomed after such an explosive schism at the top, turning their biggest fans against the remaining organisation. An expansion would not have been the same without Kurvitz and Rostov, and under the direction of the ultraliberals now running the place, despite the best efforts of the remaining creative staff, so this cancellation isn't as big a blow as it should feel.

The whole situation sounds like a total mess, and ultimately I'm just thankful they were able to get the masterpiece that this game is out in the first place.

Awful that people have lost their jobs but I hope this means Disco Elysium will be left alone.

It was interesting playing this beautiful videogame partially about pining for a revolution that will probably never come, having your heart broken after investing in something for so long and the desire to make your mark in the world with the knowledge that this was the ultimate fate of the studio (and IP).

I am finished! Excellent game that a few bugs put a slight dampener on at the end. The person with my gun just didn't spawn in at 10pm (and wouldn't no matter my loading area shenanigans) meaning I had to try again the next day when I had nothing productive to kill time with.

I am happy with the ending.

Spoilers and thoughts from the "tribunal" onwards.

Anywho absolutely outstanding piece of media that will stick with me forever. Don't think I have the fortitude to do another playthrough straight away, but I definitely will in a few years.

I turned away Cuno after Kim was shot your comments make me think I should’t have.

The (ending spoiler) Cuno Ending was an amazing watch on Aaron's stream -- incredibly funny and quite touching too! Well worth seeing.
