It was an amazing game that became a mass phenomenon, and everything seemed to indicate that it was going to give birth to a franchise. Instead, <strong>the studio ZA\/UM fired almost everyone and they have dispersed into small mini-studios<\/strong> where everyone is waiting to release the spiritual sequel of the game that truly resonates with the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">One of them is the screenwriter Dora Klind\u017ei\u0107, who, after her experience, is very clear about what is happening:\u00a0<em><strong>&#8220;I think this industry is over. But, luckily for everyone, video games are not.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/span> In fact, the studio she set up afterward, Summer Eternal, aims to fight against the big companies that want to interfere in her art, which is very commendable. We will have to see if she succeeds, because the industry may not be as dead as she claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DISCO ELYSIUM - The Final Cut Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nk_K5DM0UTk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is clear, of course: <em>&#8220;I subscribe to the accelerationist view that the only way to achieve better conditions is <strong>by entering crises that highlight the contradictions of society and force us to remake the world<\/strong><\/em><span style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">.&#8221;<\/span> For now, Klind\u017ei\u0107 has made it clear that his anti-capitalist view of the industry does not necessarily translate into a sequel to Disco Elysium and that, really, no one should expect that as the first game from his studio.
