4 splits? And redditors will tell you the de devs aren’t leftists
Imagine if all 4 of them make games of roughly equivalent quality to Disco Elysium
They spend 90 percent of the time dunking on each other with increasingly arcane allusions to history
yes, “the writing process”
Each game has a plot but it’s just to keep the Fortress Accident Sidequest moving along
I’ll allow it
The only one I care about is the one with the core writers.
Will be interesting to see what the others end up making in terms of gameplay but the core writers are the reason that DE is on par with actual literature where every other game in existence is a toy by comparison.

Ahhhh no but this is so real Why can’t other games have real writing…
Pathologic (and Pathologic 2) also have real writing! They’re easily on par with Disco Elysium in terms of writing quality! (I don’t disagree with the general point, I’m just out here shilling for Pathologic 2. Because it’s great and Pathologic 3 is coming out next year with any luck and I’m so excited!)
Kurvitz and Rostov have their own company, Red Info ltd. that is funded by Netease and is apparently working on something, but we probably won’t get more news until the legal trouble with Disco Elysium itself is resolved
ZA/UM-PF
Splitters! We’re the People’s Front of ZA//UM!
I’m just going to call you ZA/UM-Ndonga.
PFZA/UM (ML) (MZT)
In true leftist fashion, there are multiple fractures within the DE2 movement.
At this point i’d be happy with just a Revachol TTRPG campaign sourcebook as long as it has the same writing quality as the game. Doesn’t even have to have stat blocks or anything, i’ll just run it with Thirsty Sword Lesbians.
I am ZA/UM
Cant wait for the games to start writing takedowns of the other games and the reponses to those takedowns and the responses to those responses etc
Za/um has made a silly game, we shall neither play it nor respond
Feels on brand
I bet 1 of them is going to come out super liberal and anti-communist and the devs will be like “actually it’s anti-authoritarian”
War of the ZA/UM Succession
There are now as many ZA/UM successors as there are Workers’ Internationals, appropriately enough.
What are the studio names?
Summer eternal, red info,
nightshiftdark math, and longdueCool thanks
XXX Nightshift is the name of the game being made by Dark Math Games
At time of this article’s publishing the companies were: ZA/UM itself, Red Info (Kurvitz and Rostov’s company), Long Due and Dark Math Games.
Now there’s another co-op Summer Eternal, bringing the total to 5
