    What’s up with the recent surge in Disco Elysium content?

      There is an ongoing staggered release of several parts of NoClip’s (very good) documentary about the game’s development. I’d assume most of the news stories come from these, article’s quote is definitely from the last part that was about the art direction of the game.

      Probably a marketing campaign

      Same thing happened on Reddit all the time

        Hmmm…DE is one of the best games I’ve ever played and recommend people not buy it.

        At least the article in the OP has a small mention at the bottom alluding to the bs.

          What’s the reason? I don’t really get it, someone got fired?

          Almost all game posts like these on Lemmy are ad campaigns. The demographic has a huge amount of gamers so it makes sense.

              Thanks for the links! I didn’t know the story and the article didn’t really mention any wrong doing.
