Disco Elysium was bought? They will probably inject it with microtransactions and some other bs. Anyway... playing that game was a rollercoaster of emotions.

It wsn't bought, exactly. The publisher pulled a fast one on the devs a|ter DE's success. There's a good report on this by people make games on youtube.
