  • Corruption pretty much. The director of the school would constantly pocket a lot of the public funds sent to school and then offload the cost of whatever that money was supposed to go to onto students.

    One of my favorite examples of this is this tradition where last year students before graduating are supposed to leave something to the school, and our class was asked to buy new tables, with other classes having to do something stupid like that as well.

    I still see the school in the news from time to time being involved in some new corruption scandal lol





  • Some context, albeit simplified: Disco Elysium as an IP and the company behind it (ZA/UM) practically got stolen by some rich investors from the original developers, and most of the original team left or got fired. There were plans for an official sequel of the game, but it got cancelled recently and since then, three games got announced back to back to back by three different studios and have promised to deliver a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium. The companies are:

    • Longdue. They have some of the people who developed the original game plus people from big companies like Bungie, Rockstar, but they’re also in bed with ZA/UM and are the ones suing the other two companies.

    • Dark Math Games. While they do have the most ‘game’ currently as in their spiritual sequel titled ‘XXX Nightshift’ has some trailers and a Steam page, there’s not that much known about them.

    • Summer Eternal. It’s a workers co-op studio led by an original games’ writer. They have a website which hosts their manifesto, and having read it it’s definitely very Disco, would recommend.
