With that logic we should never buy a game, unless it is directly going to the developers hands? If you want it in your Steam library, then its the best time to buy it now probably while there is a sale active and before you cannot in the future, in case it gets unlisted caused by these legal issues. BTW I’m not doing the FOMO: FEAR OF MISSING OUT here. This is for people like me who rely on Steam library for convenience.
do devs ever get something from the sale? i would imagine they have positions with salaries, not some type of “you get x% from every sale” sort of deal.
I mean in this case it was their company at the start. Like they get (or got) money from it in a way that the usual developer doesn’t. And in this case it’s because of a shitty, greedy action we have a pretty easy solution to. That being piracy.
It’s not getting unlisted. This news has nothing to do with the company currently called ZA/UM (apart from, of course, stealing the company away from the creators and making this situation).
Buy the game before it gets unlisted. It’s currently in on sale: https://store.steampowered.com/app/632470/Disco_Elysium__The_Final_Cut/
Or don’t, since the actual devs get nothing from the sale if you do.

logic seems fine, sail the seven seas!
Piracy doesn’t solve what I was saying. It is still not integrated into Steam and my account after pirating the game.
Yeah, fair enough - you do have a point.

Don’t think it will get unlisted, as the lawsuit only relates to spiritual successors of the game and not the original game itself.
