So it turns out that most of the original creators of Disco Elysium have been involuntarily pushed out of the company, including Robert Kurvitz, the lead designer and writer(!)
This is super fucked up, but unfortunately not particularly surprising for the indie games industry.

Disco Elysium is an absolutely monumental game, a work like no other this industry has ever produced.
Absolutely disgusting that it and the people who created it have just been chewed up like this, by opportunists & careerists capitalizing on its success.
The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone -- everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed.

The money people come from a background which says you gotta grab when you can even when it in fact does not make much economic sense.

Shockingly, despite what supporters of capitalism will say, capitalism crushes talent rather than support it. This is just more proof of that.
Never be good at your job kids.
