The infighting is how you know they are leftist
The capitalists trying to strip out the wiring is how you know they are leftist
There are many indicators.
I think this Moola guy is associated with Kaur Kender, someone who is not a leftist and didn’t have much at all to do with the game other than screw Robert Kurvitz out of ZA/UM and his IP. These are the crooks who stole the game, in other words.
It’s uhh, fucking strange. While Kaur Kender did have something to do with the hostile takeover and looting of the company (possibly a fuck ton), he and the two main culprits, two estonian finance mobsters, Toni Havel and Ilmar Kompus, had some sort of falling out after the takeover was succesful, which ended up in a lawsuit between them (it was later settled or dropped), leading to Kender joining a different off-shoot studio called Dark Math Games (he recently resigned as Director, but his brother Heiti Kender ended up in the same seat afterwards).
If Argo’s recent tweets are correct, it would seem that Moola from Longdue if suing both Argo’s Summer Eternal and the Kenders’s Dark Math at the same time as ZAUM, for ‘‘entirely different reasons’’ they both claim.
on the other hand, Kurvitz and the core team are still MIA.
Kurvitz was working in another studio in the UK AFAIK. They’ve not announced anything yet.
Yeah he and Rostov, and I think Helen Hindpere too, have a studio called Red Info.
It basically exists as some legal documents and investments as far as the public is concerned.
I believe Kurvitz is involved in a project in London called “Red Info” but there’s no information about it at all. He’s also currently involved in the “original” lawsuit so it’s certainly possible at the end of the day that Kurvitz will get ZA/UM (or what’s left of it) and Disco Elysium back. There was a woman on the DE sub a couple months back who was at a restaurant in Estonia where Kurvitz was eating with his mom. She overheard him say the lawsuit trial was “going well”. She asked him for a picture with her and he obliged, so it’s not like she made up the story from whole cloth.
You cant make this shit up
People would think you’re insane if you did
For fucking real lol
Disco Elysium writer and co-founder of new RPG studio Summer Eternal, says he’s being sued by Riaz Moola
Moola
guillotines for everyone
Of course the most leftist game I know would have this kind of drama 😭
Uh…
Woah, this is super fucking odd. Before this there wasnt really any indication that Longdue had anything to do with ZAUM, but now they’re launching lawsuits too? against the same targets?? the strangest thing here is that Gooner Elysium from Dark Math Games (kaur kender’s project) is getting lumped in by the lawsuits with Summer Eternal and Argo Tuulik (if Argo’s posts are true)
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
YOU - “I know who Argo Tuulik is, but who is this ‘Riaz Moola’ guy?”
STEBAN, THE STUDENT GAMER - “Only ZA/UM’s most trusted lieutenant, the Evangelist of the Revolution, and the founding father of the successor studio Longdue.”
STEBAN, THE STUDENT GAMER - “He also happens to be the greatest communist developer after Tuulik himself. It was Moola who first postulated the existence of ideological plasm, which forms the basis of Disco Elysium-like gameplay.”
A BRIEF LOOK AT DISCO-ELYSIUM SUCCESSORS - Known to his numerous admirers as the ‘Evangelist of ZA/UM’ and to his even-more-numerous enemies as the ‘Apocalyptic Shrike’, Riaz Moola remains one of the most controversial and fascinating figures to emerge in the years of the ZA/UM Revolution, second only to Argo Tuulik himself.
A BRIEF LOOK AT DISCO-ELYSIUM SUCCESSORS - During his unparalleled life, he helped develop a revolutionary game at one company and founded a new studio after the ZA/UM Revolution. Along the way, he committed some of the most notorious war crimes in an era famed for its atrocities.
ENCYCLOPEDIA - Oh, right. During the disastrous development of successor titles to Disco Elysium, Moola personally ordered up to 12,000 ZA/UM prisoners of war impaled on sharpened spruce trees in the Samaran backcountry. Thereafter his opponents began referring to him as the ‘Apocalyptic Shrike’.
Apparently Argo worked at one of those successor studios before going on to fund his new one, and something in that work or agreement seems to be the alleged problem.
ZA/UM separately alleges shit like copyright infringement, which I would assume is some shit like accusing him of repurposing material from the cancelled games and DLC he worked on.
this is good for bitcoin.
