For anyone hesitant to go the piracy route there's also a physical version on PS4, PS5, Switch, and Xbox that's pretty easy to find used

Shame it was removed from Internet Archive, as that would have been the perfect way to get it.

not so, make sure you use this feature when you search and go all the way to the bottom

Fucking tragic. One of the best games I've ever played.

adeblur.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not to mention this bullshit.

Tech bros really love nothing more than stealing credit for other people's creative work

Capitalist realism at its most clear and stupid

justame1.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’ve never heard of this game, I admit. But that’s bloody tragic! What an awful thing to do!

toastr.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Are you saying the tragedy is that you’ve never heard of the game?

Because it is, that is one of the best games to never be heard of. It is amazing, like a dense Russian novel you love to struggle with.

How did this even happen?

daktangle.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's an absolute mess. This video gives some insight into it.

(annapurna is just about the same, BTW - do not support annapurna)

(tldr staff quit in protest after annapurna pictures said they would agree to a buyout, then refused)

What does this mean for skin deep

teabree.gendercriminals.gay•16 hours ago

what do you think it means? Every single team member left in September. You've got this, I believe in you.

teabree.gendercriminals.gay•15 hours ago

Hint: If you buy it, will anybody that worked on it get compensation if they no longer work there?

jakepearl13.bsky.social•2 hours ago

I’d really appreciate it if you werent condescending.

teabree.gendercriminals.gay•1 hour ago

Meant as fun, not intended. Apologies.

teabree.gendercriminals.gay•1 day ago

really hate this one as sayonara wild hearts is basically my favorite ever, and flower, journey, stray, and wattam are all top-tier experiences that made life worth living for a long time

teabree.gendercriminals.gay•1 day ago

It is always moral to pirate Disco Elysium.

the original creators no longer get money from it, any funding the game will get will go to the corporation that owns the IP.

brulesi.bsky.social•1 day ago

Also same for Annapurna

fatherhelium.bsky.social•1 day ago

Don't do this to me. What do you mean?

teabree.gendercriminals.gay•1 day ago

Every annapurna staff member quit in protest in September and instead of the studio dying they kept it alive with private equity and garbage. It is no longer annapurna that we know: all talent that made everything from donut county onwards is gone

fatherhelium.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's actually heartbreaking. I've sung Annapurna's praises for years.

brulesi.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hear you. Outer Wilds changed my life forever

This fucking sucks. I swear to fuck.

postalspeedweed.bsky.social•1 day ago

Every day I wake up and remember the absolutely heinous tragedy of Disco Elysium's artists being shunted out by corpo businessmen and it never ceases to make me absolutely 200% fuck-ass mad

Do what this user says, DON'T buy Disco Elysium.
In fact
Search the Internet Archive
You'll thank me later.

I'm stuck on "Aimed at TikTok users." TikTok users are scared of saying the word "killed," what makes you think they're going to appreciate the game where you can commit suicide, get called the f-slur by a 12 year old drug user, and where a not insignificant amount of characters are horrible racists
